This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  lhal  w;ls  preserved  for  general  ions  on  library  shelves  before  il  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  pari  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

Il  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  thai  was  never  subject 

to  copy  right  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  dillicull  lo  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  lo  a  library  and  linally  lo  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  lo  partner  with  libraries  lo  digili/e  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  lo  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  panics,  including  placing  Icchnical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  n  on -commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  thai  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non -commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  lo  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  lile  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use.  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 

countries.  Whether  a  book  is  slill  in  copyright  varies  from  country  lo  country,  and  we  can'l  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe.

A  quarto,  on  paper,  consisting  of  ff.  210  ;  the  handwriting  is 
ascribed  to  Bulstrode  Whitelocke,  though  the  character  of  it  does 
not  resemble  his  signature  in  Dd.  v.  7. 

Law  Precedents. 

The  volume  contains  a  singular  petition  to  the  king  from  Bul- 
strode Whitelocke,  setting  forth  at  great  length  that  he,  being 
Treasurer  of  the  Society  of  the  Middle  Temple,  had  expended 
upwards  of  £30  of  the  common  stock  in  burying  a  student  who 
died  there ;  that  the  father  of  the  student  refused  to  repay  the 
money,  though  of  sufficient  ability;  and,  as  no  remedy  could  be 
obtained  at  Common  Law,  praying  of  the  king  equitable  redress. 

On  the  fly-leaf, '  Esteemed  friend  Mr  John  Whitelocke  of  Hilton  parke.'

The  version  is  substantially  the  same  as  the  earlier  of  those  which  are 
called  Wycliffite  (see  the  Prtface  to  the  Wycliffite  Bible,  Oxf.  1850,  p.  liv.) : 
bat  it  has  been  considerably  abridged  throughout.  The  books  follow  the 
order  of  the  Vulgate.  After  Psalm  gl.  of  which  as  in  other  cases  only  a 
small  portion  is  inserted,  are  English  abstracts  of  the  Te  Deum,  which  is 
ascribed  to  '  Austin  and  Ambrose/  of  the  Benedicite,  the  Benedictus,  the 
Magnificat,  the  Nunc  Dimittis  and  a  translation  of  the  Psalm,  or  Creed, 
'  Quicunque  vult*  (foL  75  b).  The  MS.  is  altogether  defective  from  Amos

eluding  blanks),  about  20  lines  on  each  page,  handwriting  uniform 
from  fol.  11  to  fol.  80,  and  throughout  assignable  to  the  close  of 
the  xvth  century,  which  is  also  the  approximate  date  of  the 
language. 

The  following  title  is  supplied  by  a  colophon  (fol.  80,  a)  :

This  date,  which  should  be  mcccc  lxxxxii.  was  probably  mutilated  in 
order  to  enhance  the  value  of  the  MS.  Tanner  {sub  nom.)  had  been  misled 
by  the  corruption.

An  English  translation  of  this  supposititious  work.    The  order  of  the 

printed  edition  (Lipsie,  1832)  is  very  different  from  that  of  this  MS.    The 

treatise  has  been  divided  by  the  translator  into  two  books,  and  he  has  added 

also  a  third, '  wich  tretyht  of  spices.'    This  third  book  has  not  been  printed.

The  remainder  of  the  MS.  consists  of  very  irregular  notes  and  recipes. 
At  t  71,  a  botanical  dictionary  is  commenced.  On  ff.  73,  74,  are  medical 
almanacks.    The  names  of  Doctor  Bentley,  and  Sir  John  Thurston,  Kni3t,

The  first  leaf,  which  is  headed  '  Biblus,'  contains  an  analysis  of  the  con-

explanatory  index  of  names,  headed, 

Hie  sunt  interpretaciones  nominum  hebreorum  incipientium  per  a 
literam. 

The  usual  prologues  follow,  f.  19 ;  and  Genesis  begins  f.  21 :  the  books 
occur  in  their  usual  order.  The  leaf  at  the  end  of  the  Psalms  is  left  blank, 
f.  181,  apparently  in  order  that  the  MS.  may  be  bound  in  two  volumes. 

S.  Matthew  begins  f.  284  b,  and  after  the  end  of  Revelations,  the  last 
leaf  gives  a  Kalendar  of  the  lessons  for  different  feasts.  There  are  scholia  in 
a  minute  hand,  especially  in  the  New  Testament. 

At  the  beginning  and  end  are  pasted  three  worthless  woodcuts,  two  of 
the  months  of  May  and  November,  giving  a  representation  of  the  chief  saints 
or  events  in  each,  of  the  xvnth  century. 

On  ff.  1  and  2  is  written  the  name,  Jo.  Powell.

With  this  commences  the  first  book. 

At  ch.  32,  p.  26,  begins  that  portion  of  the  MS.  which  corresponds  to  the 
text  printed  by  T.  Gale,  Scriptores,  xv.  (fol.  Oxon.  1601)  pp.  179-287,  all 
parts  not  relating  to  Great  Britain  or  Ireland  being  omitted  by  the  Editor,  as 
he  says  in  his  preface. 

The  first  book  is  divided  into  60  chapters,  and  ends  as  the  edition.  The  com- 
mencement of  the  2nd  book  is  indicated  by  the  initial  letter,  whose  branches 
border  the  page.  It  begins,  '  Ordo  narrationis  historic  h'  expostulat ;'  and

the  first  words  on  the  next  page  being  '  secularis  adepts  sollicitudinis  et

At  the  end  of  ca.  33,  Lib.  v.  on  p.  130,  are  '  Explicit  liber  quintus,'  and 
'  Incipit  liber  Sextos'  filling  up  the  column,  and  on  the  page  are  impressions 
of  the  florid  initial  letter  which  adorned  the  leaf  which  formerly  followed.

partially  defaced.

At  the  end  of  the  Psalter,  the  rest  of  the  leaf,  £  184,  is  left  blank,  appa- 
rently with  the  idea  of  binding  the  MS.  in  two  volumes.  St  Matthew 
begins  f.  312  b.  The  books  occur  in  the  usual  order,  except  that  the  Acts  is 
placed  after  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews. 

At  the  end  is  a  digest  of  the  contents  of  each  chapter  in  the  Bible,  of 
which  6  leaves  are  lost,  ending : 

Expliciunt  capitula  totius  biblie. 

Down  most  of  the  pages  are  written  the  letters  a,b,c,. ..,  at  intervals,  to 
mark  off  portions  for  reading  in  the  refectory  of  the  monastery  to  which  the 
Bible  belonged,  as  stated  in  a  note  in  f.  256.

»«*  Ee.  n.  31. 

A  moderate-sized  quarto,  on  parchment,  consisting  of  261 
leaves,  neatly  written  in  a  black-letter  character,  very  full  of  con- 
tractions, in  double  columns,  each  column  containing  31  lines. 
The  initial  letters  are  finely  illuminated,  and  contain  figures  of

written  in  a  very  minute  and  seemingly  later  hand.  The  last  few 
leaves  are  in  bad  condition.

copies  of  letters  to  and  from  John  Parkhuret,  Bishop  of  Norwich,

This  MS.  is  mentioned  by  Tanner  as  preserved  at  Norwich. 

In  the  margin  of  many  of  the  more  important  letters  is  a  small  mark  + , 
apparently  indicating  that  they  have  been  copied,  perhaps  by  T.  Baker  for 
J.  Strype,  whose  materials  for  chapters  13, 35,  and  37  of  Book  iv.  of  his  Life  of 
Archbp.  Parker,  were  derived  from  this  MS.,  cited  as  one  of  *  MSS.  R.  Job.

Parker,  8vo.  1853.  (Parker  Society).  And  others  in  the  two  series  of  Zurich

A  French  Translation  of  the  Books  of  the  Old  Testa- 
ment from  Genesis  to  Job,  from  the  Vulgate.  To  each  book 
is  prefixed  a  curious  miniature  illumination.

Explicit. 

Throughout  explanatory  matter  is  mixed  up  with  the  text,  no  difference 
being  made  in  the  writing  between  the  text  and  commentary.  The  first 
chapter  of  Genesis  is  rather  a  commentary  with  the  verses  inserted,  than  a 
mere  translation.  Thus  in  Gen.  ch.  iii.  after  v.  4  there  follows  without  any 
distinction,  *  Li  serpenz  signifie  li  deables  qui  est  plus  noiseus  et  plus  mali- 
cieus  que  toutes  bestes/  &c. 

These  explanations  are  generally  inserted  at  the  end  of  the  chapters,  but 
always  written  continuously  with  the  text. 

On  a  blank  leaf  at  the  beginning  is  written,

This  poem  has  much  in  common  with  the  Latin  metrical  Life  of  St  Ed* 
mund,  in  the  Library  of  Caius  College,  Cambridge,  MSS.  No.  153,  the  author 
of  which  was  jElred  (or  Alfred)  of  Rievaulx  (cf.  his  prose  Life  in  Twysden's 
Scriptores  X,  coL  369  sq.) ;  but  that  was  not  in  all  probability  the  source 
from  which  the  present  writer  drew  his  materials  ('sanz  fausete  e  sane 
barat').  His  work  was  dedicated  to  'Alianore  riche  reine  dengleterre' 
(?  Eleanor  of  Provence,  married  to  Henry  III.  in  1236).  An  extract  from 
it  has  been  printed  in  the  Chroniques  Anglo-Normandes,  ed.  Michel,  Rouen, 
1830,  Tome  i.  pp.  119 — 126  ;  and  copies  of  several  of  the  illuminations  may 
be  seen  in  Master  Wace  His  Chronicle  of  the  Norman  Conquest,  ed.  Taylor, 
Lond.  1837.

A  quarto,  on  parchment,  measuring  about  II  inches  and 
7  inches,  of  329  leaves,  in  good  preservation.  There  are  two 
columns  of  writing  upon  each  page. 

Its  title  is,  'Reqistrum  Vestiabii,1  or  'Registrum  W. 
Pinchebeck  ;*  and  it  relates  to  the  property  of  the  Abbey  of 
St  Edmund  at  Bury,  in  Suffolk.  It  was  compiled  by  a  monk 
of  the  above  name,  and  commenced  a.  d.  1333,  as  we  learn  from 
the  original  title,  written  with  red  ink,  at  the  head  of  the  folio 
that  is  now  numbered  25.  The  book  consists  of  several  distinct 
parts,  nearly  all  apparently  of  the  same  date,  and  combined  into 
one  book  at  an  early  period ;  for  the  numbering  of  the  folios  is 
written  in  a  very  archaic  form  of  the  Arabic  numerals.     The

only  portions  that  seem  to  be  of  later  date  are  the  two  pages 
of  a  folio  preceding  the  numbering,  and  now  marked  fol.  d,  and 
four  pages  numbered  as  folios  23  and  24.  The  whole  is  beauti- 
fully written  and  in  fine  preservation. 

Several  folios  are  wanting  to  make  the  numbering  regular,  but 
it  seems  probable  that  they  were  blank,  and  have  been  removed 
on  account  of  the  value  of  the  parchment.  Two  folios  are  num- 
bered 260.  The  omitted  numbers  are  noticed  below  at  the  places 
where  they  occur. 

At  folio  140  a  slip  is  inserted. 

The  contents  of  the  fly-leaves  at  the  beginning  are  as  follow : 

Fol.  a.  On  the  first  page  there  are  several  more  modern 
notes  concerning  the  authorship  and  contents  of  the  book.  On 
the  next  page  is  pasted  a  modern  title,  viz.  Album  Registrum 
Vestiarii  sive  Registrum  W.  Pinchebeck. 

Fol.  b.  On  the  first  page  of  this  folio  are  some  other  notes 
concerning  the  contents  of  the  book,  mostly  written  in  an  old 
hand.  On  the  second  page  are  only  the  words,  c  Registrum  W. 
Pynchebek,'  in  an  old  hand. 

Fol.  c  is  blank,  with  the  exception  of  the  title,  '  Registrum 
Vestiarii,9  written  at  the  top  of  the  first  page,  in  a  hand  of  about 
the  same  date  as  the  book. 

Fol.  d  contains,  extending  over  its  first  and  two-thirds  of  its 
second  page,  a  register  entitled,  *  In  rotulis  placitorum  coram 
domino  Rege  apud  Westmonasterium  in  termino  Sci.  Hilarii 
anno  regni  regis  Edw.  filii  regis  Hen.  xxvi.'  'De  contencione 
inter  Abbatem  et  Villain.'  This  is  written  in  the  Norman-French 
language,  and  by  a  later  hand  than  what  follows. 

The  regular  contents  of  the  Register  are  these  : 

1.  '  Bulla  Alexandri  secundi,'  which  confirms  the  liberties  of  the  mo- 
nastery.   a.d.  1071. — f. 1.

101.  '  De  proce88u  placiti  ville  de  sancto  Edmundo,ubi  debet  inveniri  in

Two  pages  of  this  have  been  supplied  by  a  much  later  hand,  with  blanks 
as  if  the  copyist  had  not  decyphered  his  original.    The  treatise  itself  has 
been  left  in  a  very  incomplete  state. 
Begins: 

Nunc  superest  ostendere  quanta  sit  maxima  declinacio  Ecliptice  ab

It  concludes  with  two  tables: 

The  first  drawn  from  a  table,  *  Magistri  Johannis  Walteri/  by  Lewys 
Kaerlyon,  entitled,  'Tabula  diversitatis  ascensionis  signorum  pro  omni

The  second  gives  the  difference  of  the  length  of  the  longest  day  for  dif-

There  are  several  blanks  for  undecyphered  words  left  by  the  copyist  in 
the  treatise.  The  last  leaf  is  filled  with  note  on  '  Rata  Conjuncta,'  with  the 
reference  '  vide  supra  euersis  24  foliis.'  The  place  referred  to  was  probably 
in  the  leaves  lost  after  f.  44.

Magister  Holbroke. 

Opus  primum  extends  to  f.  60.

tables  are  calculated,  generally,  to  four  places  of  sexagesimal  fractions. 

Opus  2dum  consists  of  tables  of  the  same  kind  as  those  in  opus  lmum, 
but  mostly  calculated  to  10  places.  On  the  last  pages  is  a  table  of  squares 
and  cubes  of  all  integers  up  to  138,  but  this  has  been  left  incomplete.  There 
are  canons  at  the  foot  of  the  pages  as  in  Op.  1,  beginning:  'Gloriosus  atque 
sublimis  Deus  a  rerum  exordio  luminaria  in  firmamento  posuit.'  The  calcu-

the  handwriting  is  rather  different :  the  contents,  according  to  the  marginal

2nd  Appendixes  to  Dalrymple's  Annals  of  Scotland,  Vol.  m.  It  should  be 
noticed  that  the  repetition  of  these  Leges  in  the  Index  arises  from  the 
mistake  of  the  writer  of  the  manuscript,  who  has  commenced  them  at  one 
part  and  ended  them  at  another  part  of  the  book. 

Robert  Reid,  according  to  Spottiswood,  was  Bishop  of  Orkney,  about  the 
year  1550,  and  being  a  man  '  of  excellent  wit  and  great  experience  was 
selected  to  assist  the  marriage  of  Queen  Mary  with  the  Dauphin  of  France.'

This  Romance  may  be  compared  with  the  Lays  of  Marie,  of  which  an 
abstract  is  given  in  Ellis,  Early  English  Metrical  Romances.  Like  them  it 
was  most  probably  Armorican  in  its  origin.  Yder  is  perhaps  a  debased  form 
of  Uther,  and  other  names  (e.  g.  Gueneloie  and  Guilladon)  indicate  a  like 
affinity.

Printed  in  S.  Leonis  Magni  Opp.  ed.  Ballerin.  Venet.  1753.  Ep.  xxviii. 
T.  i.  coll.  802—838 ;  also  several  times  published  separately,  and  in  patristic 
collections.  The  readings  agree  remarkably  with  those  of  a  '  perantiquum 
MS.  xix.  Monachorum  S.  Basilii  Romaiue  urbis,'  mentioned  by  Ballerini 
(col.  798). 

The  epistle  is  followed  by  a  short  summary  ("Ore  pep  6  (uncaptos  <f>\a- 
Puuds — KaQaipcQiis  ayctfc/icmtr^)  of  an  appeal  to  Eutyches  respecting  his 
faith  followed  by  his  condemnation,  obviously  describing  the  final  proceed- 
ings of  the  'ixth'  Council  of  Constantinople  (anno  448).  A  much  fuller 
and  somewhat  different  account  in  the  Acts  of  the  Council  was  read  at  the 
Latrocinium  of  Ephesus,  and  so  has  become  incorporated  with  the  Acts 
of  the  Council  of  Chalcedon;  Mansi,  Cone.  vi.  741—748.

This  fragment,  which  does  not  appear  to  have  been  printed,  is  inserted 
with  a  fresh  red  line  and  title  after  the  13th  canon  of  Nictea,  probably  as 
bearing  on  the  same  subject.  A  treatise  of  St  Dionysius  on  repentance 
(Ibia  nt  irtpi  peravolas  ypa<f>rj),  addressed  to  Conon  [Colon  v.  L]y  bishop  of 
Hermopolis,  is  mentioned  by  Eusebius  (H.  E.  vi.  46).  A  somewhat  similar 
fragment  is  printed  by  Mai  (Class.  Auct.  x.  484) ;  which  may  belong  either  to 
this  or  to  some  of  the  other  works  of  St  Dionysius  on  repentance,  mentioned 
by  Eusebius  (1.  c.)  and  St  Jerome  (De  vir.  ill.  60).

This  collection,  with  the  exception  of  the  long  title  or  description  and 
a  few  scattered  scholia,  is  printed  in  Beveridge,  Pand.  Can.  i.  509 — 678,  but 
in  a  different  and  somewhat  mutilated  recension ;  also  separately  by  Jnstel 
under  the  title  Codex  Canonum  Ecciesue  Africance,  Paris,  1614.  The  distri- 
bution of  the  sections,  vaguely  called  canons,  varies  greatly  from  that  of  the 
printed  text. 

Under  the  general  title  are  given  (as  in  Beveridge)  several  documents 
with  separate  titles.  They  are  as  follows :  An  Epistle  of  the  African  Synod 
to  Boniface  bishop  of  Borne  (ff.  202  a— 205  b).  A  rescript  of  St  Cyril  of  Alex- 
andria to  the  same  Synod  {206  b,  206  a).  An  Epistle  of  Atticus  bishop  of 
Constantinople  to  the  same  Synod  (206  a,  b).  An  Epistle  from  the" same  Synod 
to  Ccelestinus  bishop  of  Rome  (207  6—210  a). 

32.  ff.  210  a — 212  a.  Extracts  from  the  Acts  of  a  Council  at

The  number  of  heads  of  Novella  enumerated  in  the  index  is  87 ;  but  the 
MS.  breaks  off  in  the  middle  of  the  14th.  In  the  Index  siglarum  et  notarum 
to  the  3rd  volume  of  the  Leipzig  Corpus  Juris  Civilis  allusion  is  made  to  an 
inedited  collection  of  Novella  in  87  heads,  discussed  in  Biener's  Geschichte 
der  Novellen,  pp.  584  sqq.  This  is  probably  the  collection  in  question. 
According  to  Biener  (De  CoUectionibus  canonum  ecelesia  Graca,  pp.  15, 16) 
this  collection  was  made  by  Joannes  Scholasticus  of  Antioch,  patriarch  of 
Constantinople ;  and  was  subsequently  combined  by  other  hands  with  his 
collection  of  canons  into  the  Nomocanon  which  now  bears  his  name,  pub- 
lished in  Voell.  BiM.  Jur.  Canon.  Vet  pp.  603—660.

BlBLIA  VULGATA  SaNCTI  HlERONYMI. 

This  Bible  has  been  written  by  5  or  6  different  persons,  and  the  books  axe 
bound  up  with  little  regard  to  order ;  thus  the  Acts  is  placed  between  Daniel 
and  Judith,  Esther  and  Tobias  between  the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews  and  that 
of  S.  James. 

The  prologues  begin  f.  1  b,  Genesis  f.  6 ;  f.  145  is  a  Kalendar,  and  then 
the  Psalter  follows.  S.  Luke  is  placed  before  S.  Mark ;  the  Revelation  ends 
f.  453,  and  is  followed  by  an  explanatory  index  of  names,  of  which  several 
leaves  are  lost.  A  leaf  is  also  lost  between  ff.  174  and  175,  containing  the

1191  Ee.  vi.  39. 

A  small  quarto,  on  parchment,  of  273  pages :  written  in  the 
xinth  century.  The  volume  now  contains  three  works :  but  ap- 
pears from  a  contemporary  table  of  contents  formerly  to  have 
contained  five  others,  viz.  Speculum  penitentis,  Lapidarium,  Glose 
super  Antidotarium,  Alexander  de  Arte  Predicandi,  Troperia 
Magistri  W.  de  Montibus.  These  books  had  been  lost  in  the 
xvth  century,  as  appears  from  the  words  'non  infra,'  written 
against  their  names  in  the  table.

One  page  has  been  torn  out  at  the  end ;  with  which  the  first  12  books 
would  have  been  complete.  The  last  words  appearing  are  '  petroailinum 
sternes  inter  spacias  structionis.'  (Ed.  Aid.  1533,  p.  291.)  It  is  well  written 
with  a  broad  margin,  in  which  the  headings,  &c.  are  noted.  The  initials 
are  in  green  and  red.    There  are  28  lines  in  a  page.

name  of  the  book  is  given  '  de  Virtutibus  Herbarum'  in  the  Proemium.  At 
the  beginning  of  each  of  the  45  chapters  there  is  a  table,  in  red,  of  the 
qualities  of  the  herb  described  in  it.  The  initials  are  green  and  red,  as  in 
§  1.  pp.  240—243  are  blank.

Concerning  this  work  and  its  author,  see  6.  E.  Lessing's  S&mmtliche 
Schriflen.  9.  Band.  p.  443.  (Berlin.  1839).  Leasing  is  inclined  to  identify 
him  with  Tutilo,  and  supposes  him  to  have  lived  in  the  ixth  century.  The 
whole  work  is  edited  in  Bd.  10  of  Lessing's  works,  p.  372.  This  copy  con- 
tains only  the  first  hook  (de  Colorihus)  complete,  with  an  additional  chapter 
'  De  incausto.'  The  second  hook  is  altogether  wanting.  Of  the  third  there 
appear  capp.  lxxiv,  lxxv,  xviii,  xix,  xx,  and  several  chapters  on  metallurgy, 
the  carving  and  colouring  of  hone- work,  gilding,  &c.  not  in  Lessing's  Edition. 
It  concludes  with  receipts  for  a  green  colour,  and  vermiculum. 

The  following  verses  appear  at  the  colophon : 

Sepe  lahoravi  venitque  meus  labor  a  vi : 

Serpentis  gnavi  condicione  gravi. 
Cui  quondam  favi  quia  fraude  lupi  labo  ravi : 

Et  peccans  pravi  crimine  labor  avi. 
Ergo  labora  vi  summa,  ne  quam  toleravi 

Penam  peccati  promeriare  pati. 

There  is  a  copy  of  the  first  book  of  this  work  now  in  the  British 
Museum,  which  formerly  belonged  to  Trinity  College  Library  (R.  15, 16). 
It  was  edited  by  Raspe,  in  *  A  critical  Essay  on  Oil-painting,  London,  1781/ 
who  has  given  an  engraved  facsimile  of  a  few  lines  of  the  Preface.

ornamented:  marginal  and  interlinear  notes,  and  diagrams  occur 
in  various  places.

At  p.  537  commences  a  Latin  Litany,  dating  as  far  hack  as  the  year  900, 
and  printed  in  the  Journal  (if  Philology,  Cambridge,  June,  1864,  pp.  266  sq. 

The  rest  of  the  volume  (pp.  541 — 552)  is  occupied  with  prayere  in  Latin. 
It  may  perhaps  be  inferred  from  a  clause  in  the  Litany  that  the  MS.  originally 
belonged  to  an  archiepiscopal  diocese.  Wanley  (Lib.  Vet.  Septentrion.  Cata- 
loguM,  p.  152)  refers  it  on  this  ground  'ad  ecclesiam  Christi  Salvatoris Can- 
tuarie.'

It  was  collated  also  for  Walton's  Polyglott.  There  is  a  lacuna,  not  arising

Though  five  books  are  here  alluded  to,  no  thud  book  is  forthcoming,  and 
the  second  consists  of  very  much  fewer  chapters  than  the  others.  The  work 
was  printed  by  Fabricius  in  his  Codex  Pseudepigraphus  Veterti  Testament* 
(n.  337,  ed.  1723),  and  thence  reprinted  in  Gallandi,  BiM.  Pair.  xrv.  3—30, 
partly  from  a  transcript  from  Thomas  Gale's  copy  of  this  M&  now  preserved

another  copy  made  at  Cambridge  by  Boerner.  Compare  Cave,  Hist.  Litt.

Published  in  Grabe's  Spicikgium  SS.  Patrvm,  i.  129-288, 336—374,  from 
a  copy  of  this  MS.  lent  to  him  by  Mill,  collated  with*a  Bodleian  MS.  (Barocc. 
139)  of  the  year  1268.  A  transcript  answering  to  this  description  is  bound 
up  with  Gale's  copy  of  the  Commonitoriutn  of  Josephus,  mentioned  above. 
Reprinted  in  Fabricius,  Cod,  Pseudepig.  Vet.  Test,  i.  496. 

Cave  (Hist.  Litt.  i.  399)  relates  from  Matthew  Paris  that  John  Basing- 
stoke, Archdeacon  of  Leicester,  discovered  at  Athens  this  among  other 
Greek  treatises  unknown  in  the  West,  and  that  Robert  Grosseteste  sent  to 
Greece  for  them,  and  translated  into  Latin  the  Test.  XII.  Patriarch,  By 
comparison  with  this  version,  which  was  published  at  Paris  in  1649,  Cave 
infere  that  the  Cambridge  MS.  is  identical  with  that  obtained  by  Grosseteste* 
At  the  end  are  bound  up  two  parchment  leaves  of  very  obscure  contracted 
Greek  writing,  apparently  of  the  xvth  century,  which  seems  to  contain  part 
of  a  sermon.  It  begins  jcol  xttPaymTicrtt  ro^5  vivtjras . . . :  the  endjis  ille- 
gible.   Many  brief  illegible  Greek  notes  are  scrawled  over  the  last  leaf. 

This  volume  formerly  belonged  to  Archbishop  Parker,  whose  name  it 
bears  on  f.  1  a.  Its  possible  earlier  history  is  given  above.  The  note  "hie 
liber  script,  per  eum  qui  scripsit  psalterium  parvum  Grecum"  is  written  on 
a  fly-leaf  at  the  beginning,  in  the  same  hand  as  the  index  at  f  •  199. 

1198  Ff.  i.  25. 

A  folio  volume,  containing  now,  as  in  the  days  of  its  donor, 
Abp  Parker,  400  pages  of  parchment,  written  by  various  hands, 
which  are  more  particularly  described  below. 

On  the  inside  of  the  present  cover  is  a  table  of  contents  probably  in  the 
handwriting  of  Josceline. 

1.  (Ds  Pontificum  Gestis  Libri  quinque  per  Magistrum 
Guilhelmum  M ALMSBURiENsis  Benedictinse  Sodalitatis  mona- 
chum,  qui  Somerset  proprio  cognomine  dictus  est/ 

The  first  four  books  are  in  a  handwriting  of  the  close  of  the  twelfth  cen- 
tury, in  double  columns,  of  43  lines  each.  No  rubrics  have  been  inserted, 
though  spaces  were  left:  that  at  the  beginning  has  been  filled  up  by  the 
above  title  in  the  time  of  Abp  Parker,  perhaps  before  the  MS.  came  into  his 
possession :  another  piece  of  parchment  was  then  fastened  over  it,  and  the 
title  repeated  with  his  archiepiscopal  coat  of  arms  inserted  in  the  initial  D, 
and  '  Matthsus  Cantuar.  1574/  at  the  top  of  the  page ;  below  it  are  the 
faint  traces  of  '  Incipit  de  pontificum  Gestis '  of  the  date  of  the  text  of 
the  MS. 

This  older  portion  of  the  MS.  begins  (p.  1)  with  what  in  Savile's  edition 
(folio,  London,  1597)  is  entitled  (f.  Ill) : 

Prologue  Libri  Primi. 


316  CATALOGUE  OF  MANUSCRIPTS. 

Prima  Sedes  episcoporum  post  Christianitatem  Anglorum  Cantuarie 
habita  est... 

It  ends  (p.  116),  nearly  at  the  end  of  the  ivth  Book  in  Savile's  edition 
(f.  1676): 

...tante  tnrbe  ruinaram  quante  vix  alibi. 

The  succeeding  sentences,  'In  eius  heliensis...ezereere  ibi  vitam,'  have 
been  added  in  a  smaller  and  later  handwriting.  The  page  is  completed  by 
a  short  extract^  *  De  sectis  faciendis...'  from  a  statute  43  Hen.  III.  (ad.  1259). 

From  the  corrections  in  the  margin  and  interlineations  this  MS.  appears 
to  have  been  collated  once  in  Parker's  time,  and  again  somewhat  later  by 
one  who  perhaps  has  noted  on  a  fly-leaf  at  the  beginning, '  vide  et  Trin.  CoL 
eundem  de  Pontificibus/ 

That  which  in  this  MS.  is  styled  '  Liber  v.  de  Pontificibus" 
has  been  added  in  a  handwriting  of  perhaps  the  xvith  century. 

It  is  also  known  as  *  Vita  Aldhelmi.' 

It  is  printed  in  Gale,  Scripture*  post  Bedam,  foL  Oxon.  1691.  T.  i. 
p.  337. 

2.  In  the  same  late  hand  as  the  Vita  Adhelmi^ 

'Incipit  Prologus  Wittmi  Monachi  in  novella  historia 
Anglorum  ad  Robtm  Com.  Glocestren.' 

It  begins  (p.  193)  like  the  text  printed  by  Savile  (folio,  London,  1591), 
and  that  edited  for  the  English  Historical  Society  by  Thomas  D.  Hardy 
(8vo.  London,  1840).  It  is  divided  like  the  latter  edition  into  three  Books, 
and  ends  (p.  236): 

...pede  ad  Badrinam  profecta,  hinc  ad  Walingaford...equo  subvecta 
est.  Quae  tamen  latius  persequi  fert  animus  si  unquam,  dante  Deo,  ab 
his  qui  interfuere  veritatem  accepero.    Finis. 

The  three  following  articles  are  in  a  handwriting  of  the  xvth 
century ;  there  are  double  columns  of  40  lines  on  each  page. 

3.  After  the  Prologus  (p.  237)  is 

c  Incipit  Itinerarium  Regis  Anglie  Ricardi  in  terrain  sane- 
tarn  a  Magistro  Oaufrido  Vinsauf  editum.' 

This  MS.  furnished  the  text  printed  by  Gale,  Scriptores  Quinque,  (folio,. 
Oxon.  1687,)  Vol.  n.  p.  247.  Notwithstanding  the  above  rubric,  from  what  is 
said  in  Man.  Hist.  Brit.  General  Introduction,  p.  20,  it  appears  that  the 
author  is  yet  to  be  identified.

These  are  printed,  like  the  preceding  article,  by  Gale,  pp.  430 — 2. 

They  begin  (p.  360)  : 

Mense  delicias  orditnr  lactis  ad  instar 

Culta  Ceres,  Bacchusque  senex  vivescit  in  antro. 

Ends  (p.  362) : 

Quam  brevis  est  risus  quam  longa  est  lacrima  mundi. 

They  are  followed  by  '  Versus  ejusdem  de  eodem  rege,'  also  printed  by 
Gale,  beginning : 

Vexillum  pacis,  belli  sera,  purpura  regum. 

Ending  (p.  363) : 

In  tria  dividitur  unus  qui  plus  erat  uno. 

5.  'Incipit  Historia  captionib  Damiete.' 

The  author  of  this  History  was  unknown  to  Gale,  who  has  taken  his  text 
from  this  MS. ;  in  Gesta  Dei  per  Francos,  fbl.  Hanovie,  1611,  pp.  1129— 
1144,  it  forms  a  part  ofJacobi  de  VUriaco  Hirtorue  Orientalu  Liber  Tertius. 
From  a  comparison  of  the  two  texts  it  seems  that  Jacobus  Vitriaco  has  incor- 
porated this  history,  but  was  not  its  author. 

It  begins  (p.  363) : 

Letetur  mons  syon  et  exultent  filie  jude...in  laudem  Dei  et  gratia* 
rum  actionem 

Then  Explicit  Probgus,  Cap  Secundum;  this  begins : 

Anno  igitur  gratie  rn.cc.xvii.  exspirante  Treuga  ChriBtianorum  et 
Saracenorum,  in  primo  passagio  generali  post  Concilium  Lateranense... 

Gale  has  supplied  the  rubric  to  this  chapter  only ;  for  the  rest  he  has 
followed  the  MS.  which  ends  (p.  376) : 

...multum  eis  oportuno  recedere  non  valent.    Finit 

6.  The  greater  portion  of  this  copy  of  *  Galfridi  Monb- 
MUTEN8IS  Historia  Britonum  '  belongs  to  the  xvth  century; 
the  lines  are  written  across  the  page,  and  there  are  58  lines  on 
each  of  pp.  379—412  and  53  on  pp.  413—52. 

The  writing  on  pp.  453 — 460  is  the  same  as  §  2. 

After  the  list  of  capitula  it  begins  and  ends  as  the  editions,  (see  Dd.  vi. 
12,  §  1,)  but  differs  in  some  places  from  the  printed  text* 

It  is  preceded  by  a  table  of  contents,  and  is  divided  into  4  books.  B.  L 
1—12  corresponding  to  B.  i.  of  Editions ;  B.  L  1&— 26  to  B.  n. ;  B.  I  27-41

later  writers  relating  to  this  history. 

«»  Pf.  i.  26. 

A  folio,  on  paper,  containing  ff.  321,  paged  throughout  in  red 
chalk.  Given  to  the  University  by  Archbishop  Parker,  whose 
name  it  bears  on  the  first  page :  ( Matthseus  Gantuar.    1574/ 

There  is  a  note  on  the  cover,  '  Hoc  commentarium  in  Psal-

tuariensis  inter  eos  libros  quos  secum  detulit  e  Roma,  circa 
annum  Domini  668,  anno  quinto  Egbert!  Regis,  qui  Theodoras 
fuit  sextus  ab  Augustino.'  It  is  certain,  however,  from  the  hand- 
writing and  appearance  of  the  MS.,  that  it  cannot  be  earlier  than 
the  xvth  century.

This  MS.  is  not  mutilated  itself,  but  has  been  copied  from  a  mutilated

words:

On  the  first  fly-leaf  is  a  note : '  Liber  hie  MS.  si  conferatur  cum  Euthymio

This  commentary,  though  frequently  printed  in  Latin,  has  never  ap- 
peared in  Greek.  See  Fabricii  Bibiioth.  Orcec.  ed.  Harles.  T.  vm.  p.  341. 
The  present  MS.  does  not  contain  the  preface  given  by  S.  Le  Moyne  in  his 
Varia  Sacra.  Lugd.  1685.  T.  i.  p.  150 ;  but  begins  as  above  with  the  last 
paragraph  at  p.  209. 

1160  Ff.  i.  27. 

A  parchment-book,  in  folio,  of  642  pages,  whereon  are  treatises 
written  at  various  periods,  the  particulars  of  which  are  noticed 
below. 

The  volume  may  be  divided  into  two  parts :  the  former  com- 
prising the  first  18  articles  on  252  pages  (with  the  exception  of 


CATALOGUE  OF  MANUSCRIPTS.  319 

§  3  on  pp.  41 — 72),  in  various  handwritings,  not  later  perhaps 
than  the  xinth  century,  and  in  some  instances  of  a  prior  date ; 
the  latter  part  being  in  no  case  earlier  than  the  xivth  century. 

The  pagination  of  the  volume  is  now  in  the  red  chalk  generally  observed 
in  Abp  Parker's  books,  but  in  the  latter  part  of  the  volume,  and  in  §  3,  there 
are  traces  of  an  older  enumeration  in  green  ink,  which  some  pains  have  been 
taken  to  erase. 

On  the  inside  of  the  first  cover  is  the  following  Table  of  Contents,  pro- 
bably in  the  hand  of  Abp  Parker's  scribe,  with  some  additions  (here  dis- 
tinguished by  Italics)  by  a  later  hand,  perhaps  by  H.  Wanley.

*  Liber  querulus  Sci  Gylde  Sapientis  de  Excidio  Bri- 
tannia.' 

The  Rev.  J.  Stevenson,  in  his  edition  of  Gildas,  published  for  the  English 
Historical  Society  in  1838,  states  that  this  MS.  apparently  once  belonged  to 
Durham,  even  if  it  were  not  transcribed  in  that  monastery.  Gale  selected  it 
as  the  basis  of  his  edition.  It  is  marked  as  A  in  the  various  readings  ap- 
pended to  the  text  printed  in  Mon.  Hist.  Brit.  Vol.  i.  in  the  Introduction  to 
which  volume  (§§  134, 136)  will  be  found  a  fuller  account  of  this  MS.  The 
Historia  Gilda  only  is  contained  in  it 

It  begins  on  p.  1 :

It  is  divided  into  xx  chapters,  of  which  a  summary  is  given  after  the 
'  Prefatio.'  There  are  interlineations  and  marginal  annotations  in  a  smaller 
and  later  hand. 

The  initial  B  of  Britannia  is  large  and  florid,  the  other  initials  are  either 
red  or  of  the  dark  green  or  the  delicate  violet  colours,  which  seem  peculiar 
to  MSS.  of  this  period. 

2.  Immediately  after  the  preceding,  and  in  the  same  hand- 
writing, 

4  Incipit  prefatio  Nennii  Britonum  historiographi  in  Historia 
Britonum.' 

Concerning  the  various  copies  of  this  work  that  exist  in  manuscript,  and 
its  reputed  author,  see  Mon.  Hist.  Brit.  Vol.  i.  Preface,  §  136 — 149,  and  for

the  text  with  the  various  readings,  see  lb.  pp.  47 — 82 ;  also  Gale's  Hist. 
Brit,  et  Angl.  Scriptores  XV.  1691,  p.  93,  and  the  edition  by  the  Rev.  J.  Ste- 
venson for  the  English  Historical  Society. 

It  contains:  (a)  Prefatio,  pp.  146 — 15b;  (b)  Apologia,  p.  15  6;  (c)  Ca- 
pitals 15  6 — 20  a;  (d)  De  malis  et  perversit  naturis  hominum  20  a,  b; 
(e)  Versus  Nennii  ad  Samuelem ;  (/)  Versus  ejusdein  Nennii,  20  6 ;  (g)  Notee 
qusdam  chronologic®,  20  b,  21  a ;  (A)  Historia  Britonum,  21  b,  commencing 
with  the  chapter  marked  n.  and  ending  after  the  section  marked  lxxxvii. 
with  the  rubric,  '  Explicit  hystoria  Nennii  britonum  historiographi  de  prima 
inhabitatione  britonum  britannice  insule.' 

This  MS.  as  the  Editor  of  Mon.  Hist.  Brit,  remarks,  has  exclusively 
many  passages  in  the  text  which  are  found  in  a  few  others  in  the  margin, 
but  are  wholly  wanting  in  the  far  greater  number  of  copies.  The  apparent 
glosses  discoverable  in  the  text  of  this  MS.  seem  to  indicate  that  it  was  formed 
from  at  least  two  different  copies,  if  not  interpolated  from  other  sources. 
Nevertheless  Dr  Gale  (XV.  Scriptores),  and  after  him  Mr  Petrie  (Mon. 
Hist.  Brit.),  have  selected  for  their  text  this  MS.  though  it  is  not  the  most 
ancient  in  existence. 

On  p.  25  is  a  curious  figure,  of  which  a  representation  is  given  in  a  note  to 
p.  58,  Hist.  Mon.  Brit,  shewing  'Quomodo  tres  filii  noe  sem  cham  et  iaphet 
diviserunt  inter  se  totum  mundum  post  diluvium  in  tribus  partibus  et  quot 
provincie  sint  in  unaquaque  parte  sicut  opera  subscripts  et  depicta  aperte 
demonstrat.' 

3.  The  handwriting  is  not  prior  to  the  xivth  century,  though 
the  initial  letter  has  an  earlier  character.  Each  page  is  in  double 
columns  of  38  lines. 

'Gesta  Brithonum    k  Gilda  Sapiente  C0MP08ITA.' 

It  omits  all  previous  to  (g)  of  §  2,  beginning  (p.  41)  : 
A  princlpio  mundi  usque  ad  diluvium... 

The  MS.  is  referred  to  as  V.  in  Mon.  Hist.  Brit,  and  was  examined,  but 
not  collated,  for  that  edition.  It  'adds  partly  in  the  text,  and  partly  in 
the  margins,  most  of  the  usual  variations  found  in  the  work  attributed  to 
Marcus  Anachoreta.' 

On  p.  64  commences  Britannice  Descriptio,  added  in  this  and  in  some 
other  MSS.  from  Henry  of  Huntingdon. 

The  first  six  leaves  have  an  old  foliation,  11—61,  besides  the  old  foliation 
in  green  (428—8),  which  is  common  to  this  $,  and  the  latter  part  of  the 
volume  as  noted  above. 

4.  This  and  the  four  next  articles  are  in  a  handwriting  of 
nearly  as  old  a  date  as  the  first  two ;  the  pages  are  also  in  double 
columns  of  36  lines  in  each. 

'Incipit  prefatio  Bede  presbiteri  et  monachi  in  librum  de 
Tkmporibus.'

322  CATALOGUE  OF  MANUSCRIPTS. 

This  rubric  precedes  what  according  to  the  printed  editions  (see  Vol.  vi. 
of  the  edition  by  Dr  Giles,  Lond.  1843,)  is  the  Prafatio  to  De  Temporum 
ratione ;  after  which  on  p.  74  follow  '  Explicit  prefatio.    Incipiunt  capital*. 

De  sex  hnios  seculi  etatibus :

De  temporibus  antichristi. 

De  die  judicii. 

De  septima  et  octava  etate  seculi  futuri/ 

Then  the  rubric, 

'  Expliciunt  capital*  De  sex  huius  secnli  etatibus.  lxvi/  precedes  capm. 
lxvi.  of  De  Temporum  ratione :  which  includes  also  the  second  of  the  above 
capitnla :  the  remaining  five  corresponding  to  cap*,  lxvii. — lxxi.,  which  are 
the  last  of  the  work.  After  which  is  '  Explicit  Bede  presbiteri  Liber  de 
Temporibus.* 

5.  At  the  bottom  of  p.  116  b  is  the  rubric : 

'  De  capite  mundi  ubi  sit  secundum  Bedam  et  quoto  anno  seculi  nati- 
vitas  domini  vel  passio  eius  evenerit/ 

At  the  top  of  p.  116  b  are  the  lines  : 

Natures  rerum  varias  labentis  et  evi 
Perstrinxi  titulis  tempora  lata  citis 
Beda  dei  famulus  tu  fixa  obsec°  perhennem 
Qui  legis  astra  super  mente  toere  deum. 
These  are  printed  by  Dr  Giles  as  Prefatio  to  '  De  Natura  rerum  liber.' 
The  first  words  on  p.  117  are  : 

'Principium  seculi  et  conditionis  mundi  secundum  Egyptios  quibus 
Abraham'... 

6.  In  the  middle  of  p.  118  a  is  the  rubric  '  De  magno  anno 
ex  concurrentibus  composito  a  Beda  ut  ostenderet  diversitatem 
cronicarum  atque  historicorum  in  nativitate  et  passione,  resurrectio- 
neque  xpi  et  de  tractatione  eiusdem  magni  anni.'. 

After  this  begins  the  Chronology  '  Quinquagessimo  q°  quarto  anno,  hoc 
est  sexto  decimo  cycli  tercii  decennovenalis  ipsius  magni  cycli  caput  mundi

'Anni  iiiim  centum  octoginte  duo.' 

In  Mm.  v.  29.  §  4,  (f.  119  b  to  f.  1206)  the  same  chronology  is  given  with 
the  addition  to  the  above  of  about  8  lines,  'Quod  vero  anni  ab  origine  mundi

8.  'De  eapite  statue  loquentis'  is  the  rubric  forming  the 
2nd  line  of  p.  120  J. 

At  the  bottom  is  the  rubric  '  Hec  duo  miracula  sunt  sumpta  de  historia 
Willi  Malmesburiensis  monachi.' 

9.  This  appears  to  be  of  the  same  date  as  §  1. 
'Symeonis  Monachi  Dunelmensis  Historia  de  Dunel- 

MENSI8    EcCLESIA..* 

This  MS.  is  one  of  the  two  which  supplied  the  text  printed  by  Twysden 
in  the  year  1652  among  the  Scriptores  z.  From  the  '  Variantes  Lectiones* 
appended  to  this  Edition,  the  Apologia  Prefutio,  &c.  preceding  cap.  i.  appear 
to  have  been  printed  from  this  MS.    See  also  Mon.  Hist.  Brit.  645—88. 

The  Apologia  on  p.  122  is  written  in  a  larger  hand  than  the  rest,  but  of 
the  same  date  ;  the  leaf  appears  to  have  been  inserted.  The  initial  R  of  the 
Pwefatio,  the  G  of  cap.  i.  and  A  of  cap.  n.  are  large  and  bold.  Lib.  i.  is  di- 
vided into  xv  chapters,  but  ends  with  the  words, '  Ascencionis  Dominicse,'  in 
chap.  xiv.  p.  8,  col.  2, 1. 10,  of  Twysden's  Edition ;  Liber  n.  following  with 
scarcely  any  interval. 

Lib.  iv.  ends  on  p.  1866,  as  in  Twysden  ;  c  Explicit  hystoria  Simeonis  ' 
being  the  rubric 

10.  On  the  next  8  pages  are  the  following : 

(a)  The  rest  of  the  column  (p.  186  b)  is  occupied  by  a  paragraph  which 
in  Scriptores  x.  p.  58,  is  headed, 

Villa  date  per  Ecgfridum  regom  Northambrorum  S.  Cuthberto  et  suc- 
cessoribus  eras. 

This  article  is  written  in  blacker  ink,  in  a  somewhat  larger  hand  than 
the  preceding,  though  of  the  same  date  :  and  so  is  the  following,  (on  pp. 
187—190). 

(b)  De  Ranulpho  Episcopo. 

(c)  De  Gaufrido  Episcopo,  is  in  the  same  hand  as  §  9. 

(<f)  The  above  articles  have  no  rubrics :  the  last  (c)  contains  alio  De 
invasore  tempore  Willielmi  2*  Episcopi. 

(«)    On  p.  194  a.  De  electione  et  ordinatione  hugonis  Episcopi. 

(/)  '  He  reliquie  in  Dunelmensi  continentur  ecclesia,'  is  the  rubric  to 
the  paragraph  filling  p.  194  b. 

These  articles  are  printed  seriatim  among  Scriptores  x.  coll.  58—68,  with 
the  above  titles.    See  also  Mon.  Hist.  Brit.  i.  688,  n.  a. 

There  is  a  gloss  occasionally  interlineated,  and  sometimes  given  in  the 
margins  which  in  this  portion  of  the  volume  have  been  unduly  curtailed  in 
the  binding.    These  remarks  apply  also  to  9  as  well  as  to  the  following :

The  MS.  (pp.  105 — 202)  is  written  in  a  similar  hand  to  §  2,  and  appears 
to  have  supplied  the  text  for  coll.  68 — 76  of  Scriptores  x.  The  last  paragraph 
is  in  Anglo-Saxon. 

12.  '  Liber  ^Edilwlfi  lindisfarnensis  eccfie  monachi  de  Abba- 
tibus  et  miraculis  eiusdem  ecclesie.' 

The  first  lines  of  the  Prefatio  after  the  salutation  are  (p.  203) : 
Sume  pater  placidos  modulatis  (sic)  vota  poete 
Qnatinus  eterno  capias  cum  rege  quietem. 

Ends  with  the  first  column  of  p.  216 : 

Te  pater  omnitenens  seruet  per  secula  mitis 

Inferni  uinclis  uerberibusque  priuans. 
For  the  author  see  Tanner,  Bibl.  Brit.  p.  269,  who  refers  to  this  MS.  for 
the  above  and  following  treatises. 

After  the  rubric,  which  supplies  the  title  above,  is  that  for  the  next 
article. 

13.  'Incipit  de  regibus  et  regnis  et  episcopatibus  tocius 
Anglic." 

Begins  (p.  215) :

hi  epatus... 

Ends  (p.  216)  : 

...a  sinistra  Wintoniensem  ceteri  secundum  tempora  ordinationum 
sedilia  sua  agnoscant. 
The  latter  part  of  this  column  and  various  words  in  other  places  have 
been  inserted  in  a  fainter  ink  than  the  rest  of  the  text 

14.  Visiones,  is  the  title  supplied  in  a  handwriting  of  the 
xvnth  century. 

After  the  rubric  ( Miracnlum  inauditum  de  quodam  die  tempestuoso,  de 
tribus  militibus,  de  cineribus,  de  auibus  et  de  monte  bebio/  the  text 
begins  (p.  217) :

These  miracles  are  followed  by 

'  Miraculum  terrificum  de  primo  henrico  anglorum  rege  filio  Willi' 

Which  begins  (p.  219  a) : 

Anno...m°c0xl°  cuidam  beccensi  fratri  de  rege  hec  visio... 
and 

'Visio  cuidam  cuiusdam  monachi  sauigniensis.' 


CATALOGUE  OF  MANUSCRIPTS.  325 

Which  begins  (p.  2196):

And  ends  with  the  next  page. 

This  book  under  the  title  '  De  suis  visionibus '  is  attributed,  perhaps  too 
hastily,  by  Bale  and  others,  to  the  author  of  §  12.  See  Tanner,  Bibl.  Brit. 
p.  209,  note  a,  and  Cave,  Hist,  Lit.  n.  17. 

15.  On  pp.  221—236  in  a  handwriting  of  the  same  date 
as§  1. 

'  Quedam  brevis  annotatio  bone  memorie  Bicardi  prions  hag- 

ustaldensis  ecclesie  de  moderno  et  antiquo  statu  eiusdem  ecclesie

This  MS.  furnished  the  text  printed  by  Twysden,  Scriptores  x.  coll.  285— 
308.    See  also  Cave,  Hist  Lit.  n.  234. 

It  may  be  worth  noting  that,  in  the  last  chapter  occupying  p.  236  b,  1.  33, 
the  heading  in  the  margin  above  is  'xmi.  Quam  pacem  dederunt  reges 
ecclesie  hagust,'  written  in  a  (chancery)  hand  not  earlier  than  the  xvith 
century ;  the  proper  rubric  which  occupies  1.  34 — 36  of  col.  a,  having  been 
concealed  by  a  strip  of  parchment  so  cut  as  also  to  cover  the  last  three  and  a 
half  lines  of  col.  b,  and  the  lower  margin  of  the  page.  On  removing  the 
strip  words  written  alternately  in  red  and  green  completed  col.  b :  they  are 
no  w  almost  obliterated. 

In  the  margin  below,  however,  written  in  black  ink  are  the  words  '  et

eadem  ecclcsia  ut  historic  plurime  testantur  infra  corpora  sanctorum  marty-

They  seem  to  refer  to  the  same  circumstance  as  is  narrated  in  Lib.  i.  c  xv. 

16.  The  handwriting  of  the  xinth  century,  and  on  pages 
239 — 42  there  are  43  lines  in  each  column,  containing

This  rubric  is  on  p.  239  a,  before  the  first  sentence, 

Imago  generalis  ecclesie  supra  notata  primas  nominum  litteras  pro  ipsis 
nominibus  iccirco  continet... 

This  refers  to  an  architectural  device  on  p.  238,  surrounded  by  a  legend. 

On  p.  237  to  the  Prologus  commencing  *  Episcopis  presbiteris  totius

326  CATALOGUE   OF  MANUSCRIPTS. 

It  is  written  in  a  large  hand  but  of  the  same  date  as  the  body  of  the 
treatise;  in  the  latter  are  some  erasures  and  corrections:  and  in  the  last 
sentence  'qui  cotidie  clamide  coccinea  induitur  ut  semper  martirio  probatu* 
probetur,'  the  word  '  paratus '  is  interlineated. 

From  some  pencil-marks  the  MS.  appears  to  have  been  collated;  its 
author  was  Bishop  of  Limerick  about  1130 ;  see  Ware's  Ireland,  i.  504. 

17.  On  pages  243 — 5,  written  perhaps  in  the  xmth  century, 

Successio  Begum. 

A  list  of  British  kings  from  iEneas  to  Cadwaladrus.  To  most  of  the 
names  are  subjoined  brief  notes  written  in  a  minute  hand  of  the  period. 

On  p.  246  the  first  words  are  *  Beda.  Prima  etas  ab  adam  usque  ad 
noe...'  (see  De  Temporibus,  cap.  16),  after  which  follows  a  list  of  the  kings 
of  Israel  and  Juda:  then  of  those  who  governed  'Regnum  Peroarum,' 
and  '  Regnum  Caldeorum ;'  the  prophets  after  the  captivity  conclude  the 
page  248. 

18.  Written  perhaps  in  the  xuth  century;  the  number  of 
lines  in  each  column  of  the  3  pages  are  42,  34,  and  41. 

'C/OMPENDIOSUM    CRONICUM    DE   REGIBU8    FrANCORUM.' 

After  the  rubric  containing  this  title  the  first  words  are, 

Francos  lingua  attica  valentianus  imperator  a  feritate  et  duritia  atque 
audatia  yocari  primus  voluit- 

The  Chronicle  extends  from  '  Faramundus '  to  '  Ludovicus  films  Philippi 
...obi it..  mVxxxvii.'  Before  this  last  (on  p.  252  a)  mention  is  made  of 
Henry  I.  (of  England)  who  is  described  as  c  vir  nobilis...nulli  modemi  tem- 
poris  in  regendo  regno  comparabilis  Qui  et  regnavit  annis  xxx.'  (sic). 

On  p.  252  b,  is  a  list  of  '  Reges  AnghV  from  Ina  to  Henry  I.;  to  the  last 
entry  '  henricus  fr'  eius,  has  been  added  'xxx'  by  the  same  hand  as  some 
other  corrections  in  the  previous  Chronicle  have  been  made. 

19.  This  and  the  next  two  articles  are  on  pages  253 — 471, 
with  double  columns  of  39  lines  in  each,  written  in  the  xivth 
century. 

'  Liber  Giraldi  Gambrensis  de  descriptione  Hybernik.' 

This  was  edited  by  Camden  (folio,  Frankfort,  1603,  pp.  692—754),  with 
the  title  '  Topographia  Hibernis.' 

On  p.  253  is  '  descriptio  Hybernie  secundum  libros  veteres  terrain  de- 
scribentes,'  which  does  not  appear  in  Camden's  edition. 

On  p.  254  begins  '  Introitus  in  recitationem,'  which  is  called  by  Camden 
(p. 692),  'Preefatio  Prima;  the  Address  to  Henry  II.  being  ' Prefatio  Second* ' 
(p.  698).

e  In  tres  quoque  libellos  liber  iste  libratur '  is  the  statement  on  p.  359  ; 
though  the  subsequent  list  of  capitula  is  divided  into  two  books  only,  cor- 
responding with  the  division  of  the  2nd  Edition,  adopted  by  Camden,  lb. 

pp.  755—811. 

<  Introitus  in  recitacionem '  (p.  355)  is  styled  c  Pwefatio  Prima,*  and  the 
address  '  Pictaviensium  comiti  Ricardo '  is  printed  as  *  Pttefatio  SecundV 
The  last  sentence  of  the  second  book  (p.  451  a)  is :

21.     *  Vita  Sci  Patricii  Em.* 

Begins  (p.  453) :

In  the  margin  are  various  readings.    From  a  sentence  on  p.  469  this 

appears  to  be  the  MS.  referred  to  by  Ussher,  Brit.  Eccl  Antiq.  cap.  xvu.

Auctoris  Prefatio'  according  to  Camden's  edition  (pp.  820—878).  Before 
this  in  the  MS.  is  a  list  of  the  contents  of  the  several  chapters  in  each  of  the 
two  books  (Particula  prima — secunda).  The  second  begins  with  the  Prefatio 
(p.  542  b)  without  a  rubric,  and  ends  (p.  567) : 
Veritas  sine  ambiguo,  vita  sine  fine. 

There  are  many  corrections  and  notes  in  the  same  hands  as  in  22.

[St  Paul's  Epistles,  with  a  Catena,  chiefly  prom 

Photius.] 

This  volume,  of  which  both  the  beginning  and  the  end  are 
lost,  consists  of  two  MSS.  of  different  dates,  the  latter  supple- 
mentary to  the  earlier,  and  interspersed  with  it.  They  may  be 
called  A  and  B  respectively. 

J,  of  the  xith  century,  the  text  with  about  21,  the  gloss  with 
about  48,  lines  in  a  page. 

This  MS.  was  originally  larger  both  ways;  some  marginal  notes,  ap- 
parently liturgical,  are  therefore  mutilated. 


CATALOGUE  OF  MANUSCRIPTS.  331 

A  comprises  ff.  18-28,  37—48,  00—65,  70—77, 80—87, 01—04, 97—105, 
110—116, 121—125,  and  127—160. 

The  Epistle  to  the  Romans  and  both  those  to  the  Corinthians  are  lost. 
The  following  parts  are  also  wanting :  Gal.  init.  to  i.  8  (tvayycXif^rai  vp.lv) ; 
Eph.  init.— i.  13  (rfc  Ajlrfa) ;  Phil.  i.  4  -ii.  10  (7m  eV  t$  6.) ;  2  Thess.  ill. 
16  (avrbs  be  6  Kvpios)—Jin. ;  1  Tim.  init. — i.  4  (fyrqo-cis  irapexpvai) ;  and 
Philem.  23  (Mapxor,  9Apiarapxos)—Jin. 

The  text  is  surrounded  on  three  sides  with  a  gloss  selected  chiefly  if  not 
almost  wholly  from  Photius,  as  is  seen  by  comparison  with  B  :  Gennadius's 
name  occurs  once  in  the  margin  at  f.  18  a.  Each  epistle  is  headed  with  a 
vnotieais  and  Mens  itc^aXaiW.  The  text  appears  to  be  of  the  ordinary 
Constantinopolitan  family.  A  marginal  note  (45  a)  refers  the  disputed  saying 
in  Eph.  y.  14  to  anoKpv<f>.  Up* pi. 

B.   Of  the  xn  th  century,  with  about  42  lines  in  a  page. 

The  origin  of  B  appears  to  be  as  follows :  The  proprietor  of  A,  finding 
that  the  marginal  gloss  was  but  a  selection  from  a  larger  catena  to  which  he 
had  access,  collated  the  two  MSS.,  and  transcribed  on  fresh  sheets  of  parch- 
ment the  sentences  of  the  catena  omitted  by  the  original  scribe  of  A.  These 
sheets  he  inserted  into  the  volume  at  the  end  of  each  epistle,  prefixing  in 
each  case  the  heading  ra  \tlirovra  tls  r^v  irpbs  [Kopiv6iovs  £]  imtrmkijv,  and 
crossing  out  the  superfluous  words  at  the  beginning  of  each  new  division  of 
A.  Some  leaves  of  A  must  also  have  been  left  out,  if  not  lost  before :  in 
these  cases  the  wanting  parts  of  the  epistles  as  well  as  the  catena  are  supplied 
ini?. 

B  comprises  ff.  1—17,  29—36,  49—59,  66-69,  78,  79,  88—90,  95,  96, 
10G-109, 117—120, 126, 161—169.  It  gives  the  text  of  Gal.  i.  1—8,  Eph. 
i.  1-13,  Phil.  i.  1— ii.  10,  Col.  i.  1,  2,  2  Thess.  iii.  10-fin.,  1  Tim.  L  1-4, 
Philem.  24— -fin. ;  and  the  supplementary  commentary  from  2  Cor.  L  13  to 
Fleb.  xiii.  19.  'Ytto&Wj  and  Mtaus  KccpaXaivv  are  supplied  where  neces- 
sary. The  text  is  ordinary  Constantinopolitan,  but  not  absolutely  identical 
with  that  of  A  in  the  few  verses  which  they  have  in  common.  The  name 
of  the  author  of  each  paragraph  in  the  catena  is  usually  given  in  the  margin. 
By  far  the  greater  part  is  attributed  to  Photius ;  and  accordingly  the  entire 
MS.  has  been  erroneously  described,  on  a  hasty  inspection  by  Cave  and  others, 
as  a  Commentary  of  Photius  upon  St  Paul's  Epistles.  The  other  authors 
named  are  Anastasius,  St  Athanasius,  St  Basil,  Gennadius,  St  Chrysostom, 
(Ecumenius  (often),  Severianus,  Theodoret  (often),  and  "Th.  Ant."  (sc  Theo- 
dore of  Mopsuestia :  cf.  Cave,  Hist.  Litt  i.  386).  The  marginal  gloss  of  A 
and  the  catena  of  B  on  the  Epistle  to  the  Galatians  together  form  precisely 
what  is  commonly  called  (Ecuinenius's  Commentary.  See  Cramer,  Catena 
in  Acta  SS.  App.  p.  iii.,  and  Fabr.  Bibl.  Grac.  (Harles),  vm.  695.  Later  in 
the  volume,  however,  this  identity  does  not  appear,  and  some  of  the  matter

is  unpublished ;  but  the  point  of  transition  could  be  ascertained  only  by  a 
careful  collation  of  the  entire  MS.  An  occasional  variation  of  the  hand- 
writing, as  at  fF.  36,  51,  is  probably  due  to  an  attempt  to  make  the  inter- 
polated leaves  fit  in  well  with  the  original  MS.  There  are  some  liturgical 
notes  on  f.  109  b. 

In  the  cover  is  fastened  a  folio  leaf,  blank  on  one  side,  of  a  MS.  of  the 
xmth  century,  containing  the  opening  of  Duns  Scotuss  Commentary  on 
St  John's  Gospel.  It  begins  "  Vox  Spiritualis  Aquile ... ;"  and  ends  "...  et 
humanitatis  ejus  misteria  dcnsissima  litem  veluti."...This  Commentary  has 
never  been  published.  Nearly  a  half  of  the  writing  is  pasted  down  on  the 
board. 

This  volume  formerly  belonged  to  Archbishop  Parker.

the  preceding,  and  is  professedly  written  after  its  model :  in  the  first  rubric

At  the  end  of  the  volume  (p.  359)  is  the  scribe's  Colophon :  '  Cy  fine  le

'  Le  prologue  du  dotteur  en  recommendent  aristote  ;'  but  the  divisions  of  the 
text  do  not  exactly  accord  with  the  table.  According  to  the  table,  the  last 
chapter  (i*xm.)  is  '  Du  Livre  de  Sante/  but  in  the  text  (p.  62)  a  colophon

The  work  is  otherwise  called  The  Twebve  Gates,  consisting  of  12

p.  112,  a.d.  1652,  and  previously  by  Ralph  Rabbards,  in  1591.  There  are

A  quarto,  on  parchment,  of  151  leaves. 

On  the  fly-leaf  at  the  beginning,  after  the  above-mentioned 
leaves,  is  written  'Registrant  Sacristae,'  and  'J.  Cradock  de 
Bickinghall,  Stiff.'  in  a  modern  hand ;  in  an  older  hand,  '  Regis- 
trant optimum  hoc/  and  cRegistrum  tempore  R.  de  Denham 
Sacrists  Bury.'     Vide  fol.  87  J. 

On  the  leaf  at  the  end  of  the  book,  now  numbered  160,  after 
some  ancient  scribbling,  is  written  in  a  late  hand,  ( It  apears  by 
the  interliniasone  upon  ye  topp  of  the  104th  [144 J  page  6,  that  this 
Register  was  wrot  after  ye  [c  4  year  of  Edw.  ye  l8t  and  the '  words

The  date  of  the  book  is  not  so  easily  determined  as  the  above 
notes  would  intimate;  for  several  scribes  have  been  employed 
upon  it,  and  different  parts  of  it  are  probably  of  different  dates 
anterior  to  the  middle  of  the  reign  of  Edw.  II.  Various  additions 
were  made  after  that  time.  It  appears  to  consist  of  two  books, 
bound  together ;  but  their  junction  must  have  taken  place  at  an 
early  date,  for  the  folios  are  numbered  continuously,  from  one 
book  to  the  other,  in  a  very  ancient  form  of  the  Arabic  numerals.

Two  leaves  follow  the  fly-leaf  at  the  beginning,  which  are  not 
numbered.  The  first  of  them  contains  a  very  short  index  to  the 
contents  of  the  second  book  and  a  short  statement  entitled  'Taxacio 
Sacriste  Sti  Edmundi.1  The  remaining  three  of  the  unnumbered 
pages  are  occupied  by  a  very  badly  written  and  late  alphabetical 
index  to  the  whole  book  in  its  present  form ;  except  that  part  of  the 
4th  page  contains  a  catalogue  entitled  '  Hec  sunt  res  empte  perti- 
nentes  ad  monetarium,'  and  a  memorandum  concerning  a  chaplain 
to  celebrate  mass  in  the  chapel  of  St  Edmund  for  the  souls  of 
Bishop  Hugo  de  Nortwold  of  Ely,  formerly  Abbot  of  Bury,  and 
Bishop  Nicholas  of  Winchester,  and  other  benefactors.

Here  follows  a  table  of  the  contents  of  the  first  Register,  which  com- 
mences with  fol.  11,  and  ends  with  fol.  89.  This  table  occupies  folios  2,  3,

each  part  after  it  was  finished.  Folios  8,  9,  and  10  are  blank.  All  the 
writings  upon  folios  11  to  19  inclusive  are  crossed  over  with  red  ink,  and

prima'  in  the  above  table  of  contents. 

5.  This  article,  preceding  the  Bulls,  states  that  the  Abbey  possessed  no 
documentary  proof  of  its  exemption  from  episcopal  authority  earlier  than 
the  first  of  those  that  follow,  but  quotes  from  Marianus  Scotus  a  statement

original  writer,  and  sometimes  afterwards.

A  Collection  of  Physical  Treatises. 

This  volume  was  presented  to  the  University  Library  by  Nicolas  Hobart, 
formerly  fellow  of  King's  College,  in  1655.  The  following  letter  on  the  first 
fly-leaf  seems  to  have  been  addressed  to  him. 

Sir,  this  Manuscript  I  obteyned  by  favor  of  a  friend  out  of  the  publique 
library  of  the  Bishopp  of  Mount  Sinai  resident  heere  in  Grand  Cayro, 
wharein  though  the  Synopsis  on  Gallons'  book  of  Terapephtike  and  his  pro- 
blems on  the  humours  bee  common,  yet  I  suppose  that  the  Physicall  Treatises 
of  Simeon  Protomestraki  of  Antioch,  of  the  most  learned  Psellius,  and  the 
problems  of  Alexander  Aphrodisius,  are  more  rare  and  useful which 

accept  from 

Your  most  affectionate  servant,

1.  A  copious  exposition  op  the  Lord's  Prayer,  or 
Speculum  Vit^e,  in  English  verse,  including  the  '  vn  gyftes  of 
the  holy  GosV  the  c  vn  vertues,,>  &c. 

Begins  (fol.  la): 

Almyghty  God  that  is  in  Trinite 
In  whom  oonly  are  persones  thre 
Fader  and  Sone  and  holy  Goost 
That  ar  oo  God  as  we  trow  most. 

The  work  was  originally  written  in  a  foreign  tongue,  and  the  following 
reasons  are  assigned  for  publishing  it  in  the  vernacular : 

Some  can  frenssh  and  no  latyn 
That  han  vsed  courtys  and  dwelled  theryn ; 
And  some  can  off  latyn  a  party 
That  kan  frenssh  full  febelly ; 
And  some  vnderstondeth  Englyssh 
That  neyther  kan  latyn  ne  frenssh ; 
But  lered  and  lewed  olde  and  yonge 
All  vnderstondyn  Englyssh  tonge. 

After  fol.  36  a  different  piece  (§  2)  intervenes.  The  writer  concludes 
(fol.  83  b)  in  asking  all  persons  to  pray  for  him  who  '  turned  thyer  booke  into 
Englyssh  tonge :' 

To  whyche  blysse  he  vs  brynge  soone 

That  on  crosse  for  vs  wolde  be  doone. 

Amen. 

See  the  remarks  on  Ii.  i.  36,  LI.  i.  8.  §  1,  which  are  other  copies  of  the 
same  work. 

2.  'Proverbia  Catonis,1  so  reads  the  colophon;  an  Eng- 
lish paraphrase  on  what  were  called  Cato's  Distichs. 

Begins  (fol.  84  a) :

Sancti  Augustini  Opera  varia. 

From  a  catalogue  on  the  flyleaf  at  the  beginning,  it  appears  that  the

the  treatise  *  De  spiritu  et  litera,'  in  addition  to  those  now  remaining.  The 
following  note  is  written  on  the  same  leaf  by  A.  W.  (Abraham  Whelock) :

An  opinion  of  Rasis  is  maintained  against  a  great  many  authorities.  The

This  MS.  is  31  in  the  list  of  MSS.  consulted  by  Dr  I.  A.  Giles  for  his 
edition  (8vo,  Oxon.  1847)  :  see  Vol.  u.  282, 3.  See  also  Tanner,  Bibl.  Brit.  105. 
There  are  many  corrections  and  marginal  notes  by  various  hands :  leaves 
52,  53,  65 — 72  are  now  wanting :  the  volume  has  otherwise  suffered  from 
misuse,  the  binder  having  thought  it  necessary  to  round  off  the  corners. 
The  list  of  Epistles  is  on  two  leaves  at  the  beginning :  on  the  back  of  one 
and  in  the  same  hand  as  the  above  is,  *  Hec  sunt  nomina  Regum  qui  mo- 
narchiam  Anglie  tenuerunt  et  quot  annis  regnabant.'  Another  hand  has 
supplied  the  number  of  years  of  John's  reign  and  continued  the  list  to  the 
name  of  Edward  I.,  to  which  has  been  added  'xxxv  annis'  by  a  contem- 
porary of '  Edwardus  filius  eius.' 

At  the  end  9  leaves  of  a  smaller  form  on  paper  are  inserted,  containing 
part  of  an  index  to  the  epistles. 

2.  On  the  waste  leaves  at  the  beginning  of  the  volume,  in 
handwritings  apparently  of  the  xivth  century,  are  four  or  five 
medical  prescriptions, '  Interpretaciones  nominum  hebreorum?  and 
a  short  formulary:  of  which  the  first  is  of  '  Littere  prime  cita- 
cionis,7  the  whole  occupying  only  a  page  and  a  half. 

3.  At  the  end  in  a  small  hand,  under  the  partly  obliterated 
title  _  _

From  the  Times, 

'Students  of  the  Bible  should  be  particu- 
larly grateful  to  (the  Cambridge  University 
Press)  for  having  produced,  with  the  able  as- 
sistance of  Dr  Scrivener,  a  complete  critical 
edition  of  the  Authorized  Version  of  the  Eng- 
lish Bible,  an  edition  such  as,  to  use  the  worfls 
of  the  Editor,  'would  have  been  executed 
long  ago  had  this  version  been  nothing  more 
than  the  greatest  and  best  known  of  English 
classics.'  Falling  at  a  time  when  the  formal 
revision  of  this  version  has  been  undertaken 
by  a  distinguished  company  of  scholars  and 
divines,  the  publication  of  this  edition  must 
be  considered  most  opportune." 

From  the  Atheneenm. 
"Apart  from  its  religious  importance,  the 
English  Bible  has  the  glory,  which  but  few 
sister  versions  indeed  can  claim,  of  being  the 
chief  classic  of  the  language,  of  having,  in 
conjunction  with  Shakspeare,  and  in  an  im- 
measurable degree  more  than  he,  fixed  the 
'  language  beyond  any  possibility  of  important 
change.  Thus  the  recent  contributions  to  the 
literature  of  the  subject,  by  such  workers  as 
Mr  Francis  Fry  and  Canon  Westcott,  appeal  to 
a  wide  range  of  sympathies;  and  to  these  may 
now  be  added  Dr  Scrivener,  well  known  for 
his  labours  in  the  cause  of  the  Greek  Testa- 
ment criticism,  who  has  brought  out,  for  the 
Syndics  of  the  Cambridge  University  Press, 
an  edition  of  the  English  Bible,  according  to 
the  text  of  x6xx,  revised  by  a  comparison  with 
later  issues  on  principles  stated  by  him  in  his 
Introduction.  Here  he  enters  at  length  into 
the  history  of  the  chief  editions  of  the  version, 


and  of  such  features  as  the  marginal  notes, 
the  use  of  italic  type,  and  the  changes  of  or- 
thography, as  well  as  into  the  most  interesting 
question  as  to  the  original  texts  from  which 
our  translation  is  produced." 

From  the  Methodist  Recorder. 

"  This  noble  quarto  of  over  1300  pages  is 
in  every  respect  worthy  of  editor  and  pub- 
lishers alike.  The  name  of  the  Cambridge 
University  Press  is  guarantee  enough  for  its 
perfection  in  outward  form,  the  name  of  the 
editor  is  equal  guarantee  for  the  worth  and 
accuracy  of  its  contents.  Without  question, 
it  is  the  best  Paragraph  Bible  ever  published, 
and  its  reduced  price  of  a  guinea  brings  it 
within  reach  of  a  large  number  of  students.  . 
But  the  volume  is  much  more  than  a  Para- 
graph Bible.  It  is  an  attempt,  and  a  success- 
ful attempt,  to  give  a  critical  edition  of  the 
Authorised  English  Version,  not  (let  it  be 
marked)  a  revision,  but  an  exact  reproduc- 
tion of  the  original  Authorised  Version,  as 
published  in  161 1,  minus  patent  mistakes. 
This  is  doubly  necessary  at  a  time  when  the 
version  is  about  to  undergo  revision.  .  .  To 
all  who  at  this  season  seek  a  suitable  volume 
for  presentation  to  ministers  or  teachers  we 
earnestly  commend  this  work." 

From  the  London  Quarterly  Review. 

"The  work  is  worthy  in  every  respect  of 
the  editor's  fame,  and  of  the  Cambridge 
University  Press.  The  noble  English  Ver- 
sion, to  which  our  country  and  religion  owe 
so  much,  was  probably  never  presented  be- 
fore in  so  perfect  a  form."

SAYINGS  OF  THE  JEWISH  FATHERS,

accompanied  by  scholarly  notes,  of  any  por- 
tion of  the  Talmud.  In  other  words,  it  is 
the  first  instance  of  that  most  valuable  and 
neglected  portion  of  Jewish  literature  being 
treated  in  the  same  way  as  a  Greek  classic 
in  an  ordinary  critical  edition.  .  .  The  Tal- 
mudic  books,  which  have  been  so  strangely 
neglected,  we  foresee  will  be  the  most  im- 
portant aids  of  the  future  for  the  proper  un- 
derstanding of  the  Bible.  . .  The  Saytngs  of 
the  Jewish  Fathers  may  claim  to  be  scholar- 
ly, and,  moreover,  of  a  scholarship  unusually 
thorough  and  finished." — Dublin  Univer-

does  credit  to  English  scholarship,  of  a  short 
treatise  from  the  Mishna,  containing  a  series

Jewish  teachers  immediately  preceding,  or 
immediately  following  the  Christian  era.  .  . " 
—Contemporary  Review. 


"  It  is  peculiarly  incumbent  on  those  who 
look  to  Jerome  or  Origen  for  their  theology  or 
exegesis  to  learn  something  of  their  Jewish 
predecessors.  The  New  Testament  abounds 
with  sayings  which  remarkably  coincide  with, 
or  closely  resemble,  those  of  the  Jewish 
Fathers;  and  these  latter  probably  would 
furnish  more  satisfactory  ana  frequent  illus- 
trations of  its  text  than  the  Old  Testament."

"The  rMasseketh  Aboth'  stands  at  the 
head  of  Hebrew  non-canonical  writings.  It 
is  of  ancient  date,  claiming  to  contain  the 
dicta  of  teachers  who  flourished  from  B.c.  300 
to  the  same  year  of  our  era.  The  precise 
time  of  its  compilation  in  its  present  form  is,

by  John  Smith,  late  Fellow  of  Queens'  College,  Cambridge.  Edited  by 
H.  G.  Williams,  B.D.  late  Professor  of  Arabic.  Royal  Oclavo.  ys.  6d. 


"The  'Select  Discourses'  of  John  Smith, 
collected  and  published  from  his  papers  after 
his  death,  are,  in  my  opinion,  much  the  most 
considerable  work  left  to  us  by  this  Cambridge 
School  [the  Cambridge  Platonists).  They 
have  a  right  to  a  place  in  English  literary 
history." — Mr  Matthew  Arnold,  in  the 
Contemporary  Review. 

"Of  all  the  products  of  the  Cambridge 
School,  the  'Select  Discourses'  are  perhaps 
the  highest,  as  they  are  the  most  accessible 
and  the  most  widely  appreciated  ...and  indeed 
no  spirituallythoughtful  mind  can  read  them 
unmoved.  They  carry  us  so  directly  into  an 
atmosphere  of  divine  philosophy,  luminous 


with  the  richest  lights  of  meditative  genius... 
He  was  one  of  those  rare  thinkers  m  whom 
largeness  of  view,  and  depth,  and  wealth  of 
poetic  and  speculative  insight,  only  served  to 
evoke  more  folly  the  religious  spirit,  and 
while  he  drew  the  mould  of  his  thought  from 
Plotinus,  he  vivified  the  substance  of  it  from 
St  Paul"— Principal  Tullocm,  Rational

"We  may  instance  Mr  Henry  Griffin 
Williams'*  revised  edition  of  Mr  John  Smith's 
'Select  Discourses,'  which  have  won  Mr 
Matthew  Arnold's  admication,  as  an  example 
of  worthy  work  for  a*  University  Press  to 
undertake. " —  Times.

metre,  for  imitation,  either  designed  or  un-

Prof.  Palmer  has  made  an  addition  to  Ori- 
ental literature  for  which  scholars  should  be 
grateful ;  and  that,  while  his  knowledge  of 
Arabic  is  a  sufficient  guarantee  for  his  mas- 
tery of  the  original,  his  English  compositions 
are  distinguished  by  versatility,  command  of 
language,  rhythmical  cadence,  and,  as  we 
have  remarked,  by  not  unskilful  imitations  of 
the  styles  of  several  of  our  own  favourite 
poets,  living  and  dead."— Saturday  Review. 
"  This  sumptuous  edition  of  the  poems  of 
Beha-ed-dfn  Zoheir  is  a  very  welcome  addi- 
tion to  the  small  series  of  Eastern  poets 
accessible  to  readers  who  are  not  Oriental- 
ists. ...  In  all  there  is  that  exquisite  finish  of 
which  Arabic  poetry  is  susceptible  in  so  rare 
a  degree.  The  form  is  almost  always  beau- 
tiful, be  the  thought  what  it  may.  But  this, 
of  course,  can  only  be  fully  appreciated  by 
Orientalists.  And  this  brings  us  to  the  trans- 
lation. It  is  excellently  well  done.  Mr 
Palmer  has  tried  to  imitate  the  fall  of  the 
original  in  his  selection  of  the  English  metre 
for  the  various  pieces,  and  thus  contrives  to 
convey  a  faint  idea  of  the  graceful  flow  of 

the  Arabic Altogether  the  inside  of  the 

book  is  worthy  of  the  beautiful  arabesque 
binding  that  rejoices  the  eye  of  the  lover  of 
Arab  art."— Academy. 


"  Professor  Palmer's  activity  in  advancing 
Arabic  scholarship  has  formerly  shown  itself 
in  the  production  of  his  excellent  Arabic 
Grammar,  and  his  Descriptive  Catalogue  of 
Arabic  MSS.  in  the  Library  of  Trinity  Col- 
lege, Cambridge.  He  has  now  produced  an 
admirable  text,  which  illustrates  in  a  remark- 
able manner  the  flexibility  and  graces  of  the 
language  he  loves  so  well,  and  of  which  he 
seems  to  be  perfect  master....  The  Syndicate 
of  Cambridge  University  must  not  pass  with- 
out the  recognition  of  their  liberality  in 
bringing  out,  in  a  worthy  form,  so  important 
an  Arabic  text.  It  is  not  the  first  time  that 
Oriental  scholarship  has  thus  been  wisely 
subsidised  by  Cambridge."—  Indian  Mail. 

"  It  is  impossible  to  quote  this  edition  with- 
out an  expression  of  admiration  for  the  per- 
fection to  which  Arabic  typography  has  been 
brought  in  England  in  this  magnificent  Ori- 
ental work,  the  production  of  which  redounds 
to  the  imperishable  credit  of  the  University 
of  Cambridge.  It  may  be  pronounced  one  of 
the  most  beautiful  Oriental  books  that  have 
ever  been  printed  in  Europe :  and  the  learning 
of  the  Editor  worthily  rivals  the  technical 

S:t-up  of  the  creations  of  the  soul  of  one  of 
e  most  tasteful  poets  of  Islam,  the  study 
of  which  will  contribute  not  a  little  to  save 
honour  of  the  poetry  of  the  Arabs." —

the  elucidation  of  matters  of  daily  life,  in  the 
delineation  of  which  Demosthenes  is  so  rich,

hope  this  edition  may  lead  the  way  to  a  more 
general  study  of  these  speeches  in  schools 
than  has  hitherto  been  possible. — Academy. 


"Mr  Paley's  scholarship  is  sound  and 
accurate,  his  experience  of  editing  wide,  and 
if  he  is  content  to  devote  his  learning  and 
abilities  to  the  production  of  such  manuals

OLYMPIAN  AND  PYTHIAN  ODES.  With  Notes  Explanatory

C.  A.  M.  Fennell,  M.A.,  late  Fellow  of  Jesus  College.  Crown  Oc- 
tavo, cloth.    9J*. 

"Mr  Fennell  deserves  the  thanks  of  all 
classical  students  for  his  careful  and  scholarly 
edition  of  the  Olympian  and  Pythian  odes. 
He  brings  to  his  task  the  necessary  enthu- 
siasm for  his  author,  great  industry t  a  sound 
judgment,  and,  in  particular^  copious  and 
minute  learning  in  comparative  philology. 
To  his  qualifications  in  this  last  respect  every 
page  bears  witness." — Athenaum. 

"Considered  simply  as  a  contribution  to 
the  study  and  criticism  of  Pindar,  Mr  Fen- 
nell's  edition  is  a  work  of  great  merit.  But 
it  has  a  wider  interest,  as  exemplifying  the 
change  which  has  come  over  the  methods 
and  aims  of  Cambridge  scholarship  within 
the  last  ten  or  twelve  years. .  .  .  The  short 
introductions  and  arguments  to  the  Odes, 
which  for  so  discursive  an  author  as  Pindar 
are  all  but  a  necessity,  are  both  careful  and 
acute. . .  Altogether,  this  edition  is  a  welcome 
and  wholesome  sign  of  the  vitality  and  de- 


velopment of  Cambridge  scholarship,  and 
are  glad  to  see  that  it  is  to  be  continued.'*— 
Saturday  Review. 

"There  are  many  reasons  why  Mr  C.  A. 
M.  Fennell's  edition  of  '  Pindar's  Olympian 
and  Pythian  Odes ;'  should  not  go  unnoticed, 
even  though  our  space  forbids  doing  it  full 
justice;  as  a  helpful  complement  and  often 
corrective  of  preceding  editions,  both  in  its 
insight  into  comparative  philology,  its  critical 
acumen,  and  its  general  sobriety  of  editing. 
In  etymology  especially  the  volume  marks  a 
generation  later  than  Donaldson's,  though 
holding  in  respect  his  brilliant  authority.  .  . 
Most  helpful,  too,  is  the  introductory  essay 
on  Pindar's  style  and  dialect,  while  the 
chronological  sequence  of  the  Odes  (pp. 
xxxi.— xxxuX  and  the  'Metrical  Schemes," 
which  immediately  precede  the  text  and  com-

u  Of  the  present  edition  of  the  Baccha  by 
Mr  Sandys  we  may  safely  say  that  never 
before  has  a  Greek  play,  in  England  at 
least,  had  fuller  justice  done  to  its  criti- 
cism, interpretation,  and  archaeological  il- 
lustration, whether  for  the  young  student  or 
the  more  advanced  scholar.  The  Cambridge 
Public  Orator  may  be  said  to  have  taken  the 
lead  in  issuing  a  complete  edition  of  a  Greek 

Slay,  which  u  destined  perhaps  to  gain  re- 
oubled  favour  now  that  the  study  of  ancient 
monuments  has  been  applied  to  its  illustra- 
tion."— Saturday  Review. 

"Thirty- two  beautifully  executed  wood 
engravings  of  ancient  artistic  productions,  all 
of  which,  as  well  as  others  not  included  in 
the  selection,  are  briefly  but  intelligibly  de- 
scribed, lend  an  additional  interest  to  this 
portion  of  the  book.  A  careful  examination 
of  Mr  Sandys*  emendations  and  of  the  reasons 
given  in  support  of  them  must  satisfy  every 
scholar  that  this  department  of  the  work  has

"  Mr  Sandys  has  done  well  by  his  poet  and 
by  his  University.  He  has  given  a  most 
welcome  gift  to  scholars  both  at  home  and 
abroad.  The  illustrations  are  aptly  chosen 
and  delicately  executed,  and  the  apparatus 
critic**,  in  the  way  both  of  notes  ana  indices 
is  very  complete." — Note*  and  Que  He*. 

"The  volume  is  interspersed  with  well- 
executed  woodcuts,  and  its  general  attractive- 
ness of  form  reflects  great  credit  on  the 
University  Press.  In  the  notes  Mr  Sandys 
has  more  than  sustained  his  well-earned 
reputation  as  a  careful  and  learned  editor, 
and  shows  considerable  advance  in  freedom 
and  lightness  of  style Under  such  cir- 
cumstances it  is  superfluous  to  say  that  for 
the  purposes  of  teachers  and  advanced  stu- 
dents this  handsome  edition  far  surpasses  all 
its  predecessors.  The  volume  will  add  to  the 
already  wide  popularity  of  a  unique  drama, 
and  must  be  reckoned  among  the  most  im- 
portant classical  publications  of  the  year."— 
Atheneetttn. 


"This  work  is  in  many  ways  creditable  to 
the  University  of  Cambridge.  The  solid  and 
extensive  erudition  of  Mr  Cope  himself  bears 
none  the  less  speaking  evidence  to  the  value 
of  the  tradition  which  he  continued,  if  it  is 
not  equally  accompanied  by  those  qualities  of 
speculative  originality  and  independent  judg- 
ment which  belong  more  to  the  individual 
writer  than  to  his  school.  And  while  it  must 
ever  be  regretted  that  a  work  so  laborious 
should  not  have  received  the  last  touches  of 
its  author,  the  warmest  admiration  is  due  to 
Mr  Sandys,  for  the  manly,  unselfish,  and  un- 
flinching spirit  in  which  he  has  performed  his 
most  difficult  and  delicate  task.  If  an  English 
student  wishes  to  have  a  full  conception  of 
what  is  contained  in  the  Rhetoric  of  Aris- 
totle, to  Mr  Cope's  edition  he  must  go."— 
Academy. 

"  Mr  Sandys  has  performed  his  arduous 


duties  with  marked  ability  and  admirable 
tact. When  the  original  Com- 
mentary stops  abruptly  three  chapters  be- 
fore the  end  of  the  third  book.  Mr  Sandys 
carefully  supplies  the  deficiency,  following 
Mr  Cope's  general  plan  and  the  slightest 
available  indications  of  his  intended  treat- 
ment. In  Appendices  he  has  reprinted  from 
classical  journals  several  articles  of  Mr 
Cope's ;  and.  what  is  better,  he  has  given  the 
best  of  the  late  Mr  Shilleto's  'Adversaria.* 
In  every  part  of  his  work — revising,  supple- 
menting, and  completing — he  has  done  ex- 
ceedingly well  " — Examiner*

"Dr  Holden  truly  states  that  'Text, 
Analysis,  and  Commentary  in  this  third  edi- 
tion have  been  again  subjected  to  a  thorough 
revision.'  It  is  now  certainly  the  best  edition 
extant  A  sufficient  apparatus  of  various 
readings  is  placed  under  the  text,  and  a  very 
carefulsummary  in  the  margin.  The  Intro- 
duction (after  Heine)  and  notes  leave  nothing 
to  be  desired  in  point  of  fulness,  accuracy, 
and  neatness ;  the  typographical  execution 
will  satisfy  the  most  fastidious  eye.  A  careful 


index  of  twenty- four  pages  makes  it  easy  to 
use  the  book  as  a  storehouse  of  information 
on  points  of  grammar,  history,  and  philo- 
sophy. .  .  .  This  edition  of  the  Offices,  Mr

A  SELECTION   OF  THE  STATE  TRIALS. 

By  J.  W.  Willis-Bund,  M.A.,  LL.B.,  Barrister-at-Law,  Professor  of 
Constitutional  Law  and  History,  University  College,  London.  Vol.  I. 
Trials  for  Treason  (1327 — 1660).     Crown  8vo.  cloth,  i&r. 


"  A  great  and  good  service  has  been  done 
to  all  student*  of  history,  and  especially  to 
those  of  them  who  look  to  it  in  a  legal  aspect, 
by  Prof.  J.  W.  Willis- Bund  in  the  publica- 
tion of  a  Selection  of  Cases  from  the  State 
Trials.  .  .  .  Professor  Willis-  Bund  has  been 
very  careful  to  give  such  selections  from  the 
State  Trials  as  will  best  illustrate  those 
points  in  what  may  be  called  the  growth  of 
the  Law  of  Treason  which  he  wishes  to 
bring  clearly  under  the  notice  of  the  student, 
and  the  result  is.  that  there  is  not  a  page  in 


that  the  only  wonder  is  that  no  one  should 
have  undertaken  it  before. ...  In  many 
respects  therefore,  although  the  trials  are 
more  or  less  abridged,  this  is  for  the  ordinary 
student's  purpose  not  only  a  more  handy, 
but  a  more  useful  work  than  Howell's."— 
Saturday  Review. 

"  Within  the  boards  of  this  useful  and 
handy  book  the  student  will  find  everything 
he  can  desire  in  the  way  of  lists  of  cases 
given  at  length   or   referred   to,    and   the 

«..._ statutes  bearing  on  the  text  arranged  chro- 

the  book  which  has  not  its  own  lesson nologically.     The  work   of  selecting  from 


In  all  respects,  so  far  as  we  have  been  able 
to  test  it,  this  book  is  admirably  done." — 
Scotsman. 

"Mr  Willis-Bund  has  edited  'A  Selection 
of  Cases  from  the  State  Trials'  which  is 
likely  to  form  a  very  valuable  addition  to 
the  standard  literature.  .  .  There  can 
be  no  doubt,  therefore,  of  the  interest  that 
can  be  founa  in  the  State  trials.  ^  But  they 
are  large  and  unwieldy,  and  it  is  impossible 
for  the  general  reader  to  come  across  them. 
Mr  ^Willis-Bund  has  therefore  done  good 
service  in  making  a  selection  that  is  in  the 
first  volume  reduced  to  a  commodious  form." 
—The  Examiner. 

"  Every  one  engaged,  either  in  teaching 
or  in  historical  inquiry,  must  have  felt  the 
want  of  such  a  book,  taken  from  the  unwieldy 
volumes  of  the  State  Trials." — Contemporary 
Review. 

"This  work  is  a  very  useful  contribution 
to  that  important  branch  of  the  constitutional 
history  of  England  which  is  concerned  with 
the  growth  and  development  of  the  law  of 
treason,  as  it  may  be  gathered  from  trials  he- 
fore  the  ordinary  courts.  The  author  has 
very  wisely  distinguished  these  cases  from 
those  of  impeachment  for  treason  before  Par- 
liament, which  he  proposes  to  treat  in  a  future 
volume  under  the  general  head  '  Proceedings 
in  Parliament.'"—  The  Academy.  _ 

"  This  is  a  work  of  such  obvious  utility 


Howell's  bulky  series  of  volumes  has  been 
done  with  much  judgment,  merely  curious 
cases  being  excluded,  and  all  included  so 
treated  as  to  illustrate  some  important  point 
of  constitutional  law."— Glasgow  Herald. 

"  Mr  Willis-Bund  gives  a  resutni  of  each 
case  as  it  comes,  only  quoting  from  the  re- 
ports where  the  words  of  the  original  are 
important  in  themselves,  and  very  often 
stating  the  point  decided  in  his  own  words. 
By  following  this  method  he  is  able  to  intro- 
duce extraneous  matter  which  does  not 
strictly  belong  to  the  case  in  hand,  such  as 
Acts  of  Parliament,  and  in  that  way  to  make 
his  book  both  more  intelligible  and  more  in- 
teresting. In  the  several  trials  which  we 
have  read  he  has  done  his  work  very  well. 
The  book  should  be  very  interesting  to  the 
historical  student  .  .  .  From  what  we  have 
seen  of  this  book  we  have  great  pleasure  in 
recommending  it." — Guardian. 

"  Mr  Bund's  object  is  not  the  romance, 
but  the  constitutional  and  legal  bearings  of 
that  great  series  of  causes  cilibres  which  is 
unfortunately  not  within  easy  reach  of 
readers  not  happy  enough  to  possess  valua- 
ble libraries.  ...  Of  the  importance  of  this 
subject,  or  of  the  want  of  a  book  of  this 
kind,  referring  not  vaguely  but  precisely  to 
the  grounds  of  constitutional  doctrines,  both 
of  past  and  present  times,  no  reader  of  his- 
tory can  feel  any  doubt."— Daily  News.

"  We  welcome  here  a  valuable  contribution 
to  the  study  of  jurisprudence.  The  text  of

to  practised  scholars,  whose  knowledge  of 
classical  models  does  not  always  avail  them 
in  dealing  with  the  technicalities  of  legal 
phraseology.  Nor  can  the  ordinary  diction- 
aries be  expected  to  furnish  all  the  help  that 
is  wanted.  This  translation  will  then  be  of 
great  use.    To  the  ordinary  student,  whose 


attention  is  distracted  from  the  subject-matter 
by  the  difficulty  of  struggling  through  the 
language  in  which  it  is  contained,  it  will  be

a  time  when  our  historians  would  raise  the  ' 
cry  of  protection  for  native  industry.  Of 
the  unquestionably  greatest  German  men  of 
modern  history — I  speak  of  Frederick  the 
Great,  Goethe  and  Stein — the  first  two  found 
long  since  in  Carlyle  and  Lewes  biographers 
who  have  undoubtedly  driven  their  German 
competitors  out  of  the  field.  And  now  in  the 
year  just  past  Professor  Seeley  of  Cambridge 
has  presented  us  with  a  biography  of  Stein 
which,  though  it  modestly  declines  competi- 
tion with  German  works  and  disowns  the 
resumption  of  teaching  us  Germans  our  own 
listory,  yet  casts  into  the  shade  by  its  bril- 
iant  superiority  all  that  we  have  ourselves 
litherto  written  about  Stein....  In  five  long 
chapters  Seeley  expounds  the  legislative  and 
administrative  reforms,  the  emancipation  of 
the  person  and  the  soil,  the  beginnings  of 
free  administration  and  free  trade,  in  short 
the  foundation  of  modern  Prussia,  with  more 
exhaustive  thoroughness,  with  more  pene- 
trating insight,  than  any  one  had  done  be- 
fore."— Deutsche  Rundschau. 

"  Dr  Busch's  volume  has  made  people 
think  and  talk  even  more  than  usual  of  Prince 
Bismarck,  and  Professor Seeley's  very  learned 
work  on  Stein  will  turn  attention  to  an  earlier 
and  an  almost  equally  eminent  German  states- 
man.   It  is  soothing  to  the  national 

self-respect  to  find  a  few  Englishmen,  such 
as  the  late  Mr  Lewes  and  Professor  Seeley, 


doing  for  German  as  well  as  English  readers 
what  many  German  scholars  have  done  for 
us." — Times. 

"  In  a  notice  of  this  kind  scant  justice  can 
be  done  to  a  work  like  the  one  before  us ;  no 
short  rfsumi  can  give  even  the  most  meagre 
notion  of  the  contents  of  these  volumes,  which 
contain  no  page  that  is  superfluous,  and 
none  that  is  uninteresting To  under- 
stand the  Germany  of  to-day  one  must  study 
the  Germany  of  many  yesterdays,  and  now 
that  study  has  been  made  easy  by  this  work, 
to  which  no  one  can  hesitate  to  assign  a  very 
high  place  among  those  recent  histories  which 
have  aimed  at  original  research."— ~Atht* 
narum. 

"The  book  before  us  fills  an  important 
gap  in  English — nay,  European — historical 
literature,  and  bridges  over  the  history  of 
Prussia  from  the  time  of  Frederick  the  Great 
to  the  days  of  Kaiser  Wilhelm.  It  thus  gives 
the  reader  standing  ground  whence  he  may 
regard  contemporary  events  in  Germany  in 
their  proper  historic  light  ....  We  con- 

fratulate  Cambridge  and  her  Professor  of 
listory  on  the  appearance  of  such  a  note- 
worthy production.  And  we  may  add  that  it 
is  something  upon  which  we  may  congratulate 
England  that  on  the  especial  field  of  the  Ger- 
mans, history,  on  the  history  of  their  own 
country,  by  the  use  of  their  own  literary 
weapons,  an  Englishman  has  produced  a  his- 
tory of  Germany  in  the  Napoleonic  age  far 
superior  to  any  that  exists  in  German."—

The  want  of  an  Annotated  Edition  of  the  Bible,  in  handy  portions, 
suitable  for  School  use,  has  long  been  felt. 

In  order  to  provide  Text-books  for  School  and  Examination  pur-

several  books  of  the  Bible  in  separate  portions  at  a  moderate  price, 
with  introductions  and  explanatory  notes.

"Mr  Pretor's  'Anabasis  of  Xenophon,  Book  IV.'  displays  a  union  of  accurate  Cambridge 
scholarship,  with  experience  of  what  is  required  by  learners  gained  in  examining  middle-class 
schools.  The  text  is  large  and  clearly  printed,  and  the  notes  explain  all  difficulties.  .  .  .  Mr 
Pretor's  notes  seem  to  be  all  that  could  be  wished  as  regards  grammar,  geography,  and  other 
matters." — The  Academy. 

"Another  Greek  text,  designed  it  would  seem  for  students  preparing  for  the  local  examinations, 
is  'Xenophon's  Anabasis,'  Book  II.,  with  English  Notes,  by  Alfred  Pretor,  M.A.  The  editor  has 
exercised:  his  usual  discrimination  in  utilising  the  text  and  notes  of  Kuhner,  with  the  occasional 
assistance  of  the  best  hints  of  Schneider,  Vollbrecht  and  Macmichael  on  critical  matters,  and  of 
Mr  R.  W.  Taylor  on  points  of  history  and  geography.  .  .  When  Mr  Pretor  commits  himself  to 
Commentator's  work,  he  is  eminently  helpful.  .  .  Had  we  to  introduce  a  young  Greek  scholar 
to  Xenophon,  we  should  esteem  ourselves  fortunate  in  having  Pretor's  text-book  as  our  chart  and 
guide." — Contemporary  Review*

"A  more  distinct  gain  to  scholarship  is  Mr  Reid's  able  and  thorough  edition  of  the  Dt

make  it  a  popular  text-book  in  Continental  schools. The  reputation  of  Mr  Heitland  is  a

"  Mr  Sidgwick *s  editing  of  the  Sixth  Book  of  Ovid's  Fasti  furnishes  a  careful  and  serviceable 
volume  for  average  students.  It  eschews  'construes'  which  supersede  the  use  of  the  dictionary,

illustrating  peculiarities  of  style,  true  and  false  derivations,  and  the  more  remarkable  variations  of 
the  text." — Saturday  Review.

modern  English  and  German  forms  as  the  case  may  be.  The  notes  are  valuable,  and  tell  the 
student  exactly  what  he  will  want  to  know,  a  merit  by  no  means  common." — Examiner. 

"  As  the  work  abounds  in  the  idiomatic  expressions  and  phrases  that  are  characteristic  of 
modern  German,  there  are  few  books  that  can  be  read  with  greater  advantage  by  the  English 
student  who  desires  to  acquire  a  thorough  knowledge  of  conversational  German.  The  notes, 
without  being  cumbersome,  leave  no  real  difficulty  unexplained." — School  Guardian..

"  It  carries  the  reader  rapidly  through  some  of  the  most  important  incidents  connected  with 
the  German  race  and  name,  from  the  invasion  of  Italy  by  the  Visigoths  under  their  King  Alaric, 
down  to  the  Franco-German  War  and  the  installation  of  the  present  Emperor.  The  notes  supply 
very  well  the  connecting  links  between  the  successive  periods,  and  exhibit  in  its  various  phases  of 
growth  and  progress,  or  the  reverse,  the  vast  unwieldy  mass  which  constitutes  modern  Germany."

LOCKE  ON  EDUCATION.    With  Introduction  and  Notes 

by  the  Rev.  R.  H.  Quick,  M.A.    Price  $s.  6d. 

"  Mr  Quick  has  made  the  study  of  educational  matters  and  the  lives  of  educational  reformers 
a  speciality.  He  has  given  us  an  edition  of  Locke  which  leaves  little  to  be  desired.  In  addition 
to  an  introduction,  biographical  and  critical,  and  numerous  notes,  there  are  two  appendices 
containing  Locke's  scheme  of  working  schools,  and  Locke's  other  writings  on  education.  The 
passages  in  Locke  bearing  upon  the  physical  training  of  children  are  annotated  in  harmony  with 
modern  science  by  Dr  J.  F.  Payne.  The  book  forms  one  of  the  Pitt  Press  Series,  and  its  general 
get  up  is  worthy  of  the  University  Press." — The  Schoolmaster, 

"The  work  before  us  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired.  a  It  is  of  convenient  form  and  reasonable 
price,  accurately  printed,  and  accompanied  by  notes  which  are  admirable.  There  is  no  teacher 
too  young  to  find  this  book  interesting ;  there  is  no  teacher  too  old  to  find  it  profitable." — The

Rev.  J.  Rawson  Lumby,  D.D.,  Norrisian  Professor  of  Divinity;  Fellow 
of  St  Catharine's  College,  Cambridge.      Price  $s.  6d. 

"  To  enthusiasts  in  history  matters,  who  are  not  content  with  mere  facts,  but  like  to  pursue 
their  investigations  behind  the  scenes,  as  it  were,  Professor  Rawson  Lumby  has  in  the  work  now 
before  us  produced  a  most  acceptable  contribution  to  the  now  constantly  increasing  store  of 
illustrative  reading." — The  Cambridge  Review. 

"  To  Dr  Lumby  we  must  give  praise  unqualified  and  unstinted.  He  has  done  his  work 
admirably.  ....  Every  student  of  history,  every  politician,  every  social  reformer,  every  one 
interested  in  literary  curiosities,  every  lover  of  English  should  buy  and  carefully  read  Dr 
Lumby's  edition  of  the  '  Utopia.'  We  are  afraid  to  say  more  lest  we  should  be  thought  ex- 
travagant, and  our  recommendation  accordingly  lose  part  of  its  force." — The  Teacher. 

"It  was  originally  written  in  Latin  and  does  not  find  a  place  on  ordinary  bookshelves.  Avery 
great  boon  has  therefore  been  conferred  on  the  general  English  reader  by  the  managers  of  the 
Pitt  Press  Series,  in  the  issue  of  a  convenient  little  volume  of  More's  Utopia  not  in  the  original 
Latin,  but  in  the  quaint  English  Translation  thereof  made  bv  Raphe  Robynson,  t  which  adds  a 
linguistic  interest  to  the  intrinsic  merit  of  the  work.  ...  All  this  has  been  edited  in  a  most  com- 
plete and  scholarly  fashion  by  Dr  J.  R.  Lumby,  the  Norrisian  Professor  of  Divinity,  whose  name 
alone  is  a  sufficient  warrant  for  its  accuracy.  It  is  a  real  addition  to  the  modern  stock  of  classical 
English  literature."— Guardian.
